Experiment 10
—
Materials
a. Soda-lime glass
> colour: gradient of amber and purple
b. Ceramic tissue
> composition: SiO2 + Al2 O3
> structure: trimide, α-alumina
> T max: ~ 1300 °C
c. Metal mould
Dimensions of the final piece
h. 25 cm l. 38 cm w. 20 cm
Objectives
a. Allow the easy removal of the tissue from the glass piece.
b. Testing the thermal strength of the fabric after several use.
Process
Tissue secured with metal clips to a V-shape metal mould.
Results
The tissue easily comes off the piece of glass, interesting texture.
