FAQ




What happens to the glass after the artist finishes working?

It is placed in an oven to cool slowly. This process is called annealing. If the glass cools down too quickly or unevenly it causes stress and will crack. Annealing time also varies depending on the size and thickness of the glass. It can range from one day to several weeks.
