Black and White Glass Spoon Pipe

in #glass6 years ago

This pipe was honestly an experiment to see how the glass would behave, as that white is a white I've not really worked with much. When I first got this glass shipment I gravitated towards the milky stuff that you see accenting a lot of pieces and have largely left the other white, basically a shiny clearish white, alone. Turns out I had a hunch because the white glass you see here was nothing short of a pain in the ass to work with, highly temperature sensitive and prone to cracking if not treated jussst right.

Basically if the tube of glass is cold and you go anywhere near a flame with it you'll hear that characteristic TINK of warning from the glass, if it doesn't just pop right in half on ya....like it did to me. I got lucky though because it was a clean break with no loss other than a slightly damaged ego.

Overall despite it being a bit finicky I like how the piece turned out!

Sort:  

If you go near fire with the glass,then glass temperature increases and some cracks are generated on the surface of the glass. Their are many different types of colour glass available, but only white colour glass shine most because it reflect all light . And other glass absorb some energy or colour due to their colour.

yep, but you can take glass into a fire from being cold carefully if you introduce it slowly. Because it holds more pigment, white glass needs more care and should be introduced to a kiln before a flame.
