Title: fish
Post by: iain on January 13, 2005, 12:58:15 PM
Its been a while since i started a topic so cop for this.

 Its one of a pair i've just cast in my glass kiln made up from layers of glass cut into fishy shapes and layered onto 6mm float glass
 3hrs up to feuzzing temp
1hr down to 558c
hold for 2hrs
then two days down to zero
 very careful schedule, but the range of thickness's on it is 6mm to 24mm
its mounted to be used on the inside of a double glazeing panel, north faceing (for flat light) above a pair of french doors size is 12x24 of the Queen's inch's



 ps thanks ever to the forum secretarial services for the help with the graphics (even though she could do with a shave ;))

Sharp looking piece there, I'm sure it will look quite nice with the light coming through it.

 Wow nice, that must be a big kiln.

Othen than the size, how is it different from a ceramic kiln?

Nice job, Iain.  That will give the doors a nice accent.
