Klaus cuts the glass into approximately 1/4" wide strips. He then places the strips side by side on edge on a flat kiln shelf. He uses fiber mat dams around the edges to prevent the edges from overheating and spreading. The assembly is placed into a kiln and heated to full fuse temperature. After annealing and cooling, the solid sheet is removed and cleaned. He then cuts the thick sheet of glass into pieces per a straight line drawing he creates. Sometimes he makes multiple sheets of different color sets to piece together for the final work. He reassembled the pieces into a new pattern on the shelf, much like a puzzle or mosaic. They are placed into the kiln again and again fused. Once cooled, the sold piece is often trimmed into a circle, or final shape, and placed onto a mold. This time it is slumped at a lower temp, to the shape of the mold. Following cooling, it is removed from the kiln and cold worked with a fixed base labidary grinder/polisher, to remove the outer layer of smooth glass.
What else can I help you with?
Can you make a magnifying glass out of a water drop?
Yes, you can create a makeshift magnifying glass by placing a water drop on a clear surface such as glass or plastic. The water drop acts as a lens, causing light to converge and magnify objects when viewed through it. It may not work as effectively as a traditional magnifying glass, but it can still be a fun and simple experiment to try.
Can a magnet break glass if you put two magnets in between it?

Glass objects used to bend light are called?
Prisms are glass objects commonly used to bend light through refraction. They work by changing the direction of light waves as they pass through the prism, causing the light to separate into its constituent colors.
How does a magnifying glass work to enlarge and focus light rays?
A magnifying glass works by bending and focusing light rays that pass through it. The lens of the magnifying glass is curved, which causes the light rays to converge and meet at a specific point, creating a magnified image. This process is known as refraction, where the lens changes the direction of the light rays to make objects appear larger and clearer when viewed through the magnifying glass.
How does condensation work on a glass surface?
Condensation on a glass surface occurs when warm, moist air comes into contact with the cooler surface of the glass. The air cools down upon contact with the glass, causing the water vapor in the air to condense into liquid water droplets on the surface of the glass.

Why is sulfur added to glass?
Sulfur is added to glass to reduce the melting temperature and make the glass easier to work with during manufacturing processes. It can also contribute to certain desired properties in the glass, such as color or UV absorption.
Do glass fireplace doors work better?
There are some glass doors for a fireplace, but you must make sure that the glass can withstand the heat of the fire. The glass door will prevent some heat from escaping, but not all. The glass door will not aid in keeping a room warm.
