Techniques
Bent glass can basically achieve curved glass or sheet glass that become objects.
Curved glass for construction and decorative purposes is usually placed in the kiln at a low temperature to maintain the transparency and fit a mold usually custom-made of stainless steel.
When we increase the temperature we can customize the glass into a mold achieving utilitarian objects, such as a sink, a frame for a mirror, the typical ashtray or tray and a long list of pieces that can be made with this technique.
Tot Vidre Gibernau has the capacity to bend glass in convex or concave curves or a mixture of the two with a maximum size of 260 x 180 cm and a curve depth of 50 cm. This technique is applicable to both monolithic clear glass as well as previously fused glass which dramatically broadens the capabilities and application of decorative glass.
