How do the ashes get added to glass art?
Layers of hot molten glass (1100 degrees Celsius) are collected on the blowpipe and rolled over the ashes on a stainless steel table, ashes naturally adhere to the hot molten glass and are then covered in another layer of hot glass encasing the ashes, further layers of molten glass are added depending on the desired size, once complete the memorial is placed in an annealing kiln to cool down slowly overnight.
