glass extruder?

Post by carol nahoom »

I saw a fused piece in Petra Kaiser's book (the clock) that had the look of glass drizzled across the surface. It was achieved by a glass extruder. What is that and what was used to achieved that effect?

Thanks

For the ultimate in drizzled glass see the attached link to the "vitrigraph kiln". Go to the bottom of the page under the "TechKnow" secction for all the details. Lots of other interesting stuff there too.

I recently put together a vitragraph kiln. Using my scrap bullseye. With a few attempts I have been able to master the flow and make varing thicknesses of bent solid color canes. If fused properly they make awesome effects. You can also bend them on a benzomatic torch or bench burner. Well worth the the $$$.
