Process & Production

First I sprinkled plaster into the oven with a sieve and then I pulled the plaster straight. After that I took a bubble wrap and pressed it into the smooth plaster and created an orderly pattern of bubbles. Then put it in the oven at about 780°C. At the end the glass had bubble structure.
