Artist take risks- Alexander and I are trying to make glass. I need to get soda ash, calcium carbonate, and pure white sand before we get started.
Artist develop art making skills- I am learning the basics on how to make glass. I've done a lot of research and learned that there are a lot of things that you need to know before attempting to make glass, things like there can't be a high percentage of iron in the sand or the glass will come out looking like a greenish color. If you want to make glass in a ceramic kiln you can do two different types of ways to make glass. The first way is to have an open mold (no lid on the mold). The second way is to have a closed mold (lid on the mold).
