Here Lockart is heating the glass in one of the smaller furnaces, a constant process which is repeated after almost every step in the creative process. The glass must stay hot in order to shape it. Here we see that a piece of colored glass is added to the glass mixture. Here is another step in the process that is repeated many times. Lockart is using wet newspaper to help shape the glass.
Wet newspaper is used as it is flexible, in ready supply, and a great insulator.
Here we can see Lockart using one of many special tools which help shape the glass. More shaping with wet newspaper. Here we see colored glass crystals being added to the glass. This is a process that can be repeated many times to create a desired color. Inc. All rights reserved by PSMG, Inc. or by the authors of articles.
