Hot Glass Sand Casting

---

The sculptures in the image above were created by Janice Peacock using glass sand casting.

After preparing the sand mold, Janice dips a ladle into the furnace and pulls out glass at 2200 degrees.

Then Janice ladles hot glass into a mold of compacted sand that is been prepared ahead of time.

The hot glass in the sand mold cools before being put in the kiln. Once it is in the kiln it will cool for many hours.
