glass bending furnace

The first thing you will notice when looking at a glass bending furnace, is the extreme heat. But inside, temperatures can reach as much 1,500 degrees Celsius! That is hotter than most cooking ovens! This means the workers inside of a furnace need to wear special protective clothing around them because these furnaces are very hot. It is like being enclosed with a massive stove where anything is so very warm!

They place gentiana and glass for Genting in a kiln to be heated. This glass is designed to bend in the case of getting heated instead of turning into pieces. This special glass is tempered. So Now when the glass is at a certain temperature and it hot enough, Finally its time for distribution in various shapes! Specialised tools are used by workers to bend glass into a desired shape. So would you say it is like playing with Play-Doh, but instead of lukewarm its super hot and slightly more intricate!

The Art of Glass Bending Furnaces

As a section will be just like in few words, As an image is drawn by painters or as statues are created by scissors-maker the same way glass bender is also an artist. Using an active imagination and endless creativity, they collaborate on designing one-of-a-kind glass objects. Glass bending is a very ancient art; it has existed for centuries. Actually, nobody knows for sure when it started, though we do know that the Egyptians and Romans used glass bending methods to make their own customs of a large number of years!

Indeed, glass benders often learn the trade at home from a parent or grandparent. They practise their manipulation of notably hot glass, not only with the tools that guide and shape it into existence but also with their eyes (where they find new methods) or hands. Becoming great at this incredible art takes a lot of practice and patience. But, as the saying goes — like riding a bike, or playing an instrument: practice really does make perfect!
