Australian artist Peter Kovacsy offers production services for casting glass sculpture.
Kiln casting glass is the method of creating glass sculptures by placing lead crystal into a mold and melting it into the shape inside. There are several techniques you can use to cast glass. Moulds I use are designed to withstand 900C and hold heavy loads of glass.
