Materials
a. Soda-lime glass
> colour: clear
b. Ceramic tissue
> composition: SiO2
> structure: quartz, cristobalite
> T max: ~ 900 – 1000 °C
> fiber diameter > 6 μm
c. Metal mould

Dimensions of the final piece
h. 37 cm l. 41 cm w. 20 cm

Objective
a. Test possibility to transfer the texture of the ceramic material on the glass.
