kiln-formed glass
Heat-molded silica work
Kiln-formed glass is glass shaped by heat in a kiln rather than by blowing or pressing.
The category includes fusing (melting pieces together), slumping (softening glass over or into a mold), and casting.
The technique allows artists to create forms impossible with traditional glassblowing: She teaches kiln-formed glass at the community art center.
