Hot Glass Sand Casting
Sand Cast Glass
The sculptures in the image above were created by Janice Peacock using glass sand casting.
Gathering Furnace Glass
After preparing the sand mold, Janice dips a ladle into the furnace and pulls out glass at 2200 degrees.
Pouring Molten Glass
Then Janice ladles hot glass into a mold of compacted sand that is been prepared ahead of time.
The Sculpture While Hot
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.
