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.
