Drip Casting

  « Mother Crow's Gallery

(Cast Glass Sculpture)

Drip Casting Drip castings are made using weak or broken molds, under cooking (not heating to the preferred temperature or not holding long enough) and charging (adding glass) during the melting process. Because the glass must be added multiple times the melting, or dripping of the glass into (and outside of the mold) can be watched so that glass does not entirely leave the mold. The results are often stunning in their texture and variation. The examples on this page were made using recycled glass.

last summer I helped to empty a glass blowing furnace so it could be shut down. When the glass cooled I collected pieces to use in casting. This particular furnace was charged with factory waste glass from the manufacture of light bulbs.

I like Missouri wines. Steinberg White is currently my favorite.. oh the glass bottles are pretty nifty too. So we kept them and used them to make this awesome bowl.
