| Martin gathers
clear glass from the furnace at 1080°C. He skillfully blends
in coloured glass powders and canes to build up his designs.
A gradual process of melting in the colours and blowing the
glass results in stunning pieces - no two the same.
It takes longer to build up
the decoration on the molten glass than to blow the form.
Each piece can take anything from half-an-hour to one-and-a-half
hours to make. The finished piece then goes into an annealing
kiln and cools down over 12 hours, so that the glass does
not break.
