The casting glass technique is very impressive. It all begins with the fabrication of various designs eventually printed in humid sand to cause a cavity. After the previously heated glass is placed over the sand, it becomes transparent and lets the colours appear. The result is then placed in specialized ovens for two days. As the thermal technique, it consists in the use of heat to shape the glass before adding colour with enamels.
