The glass is made by hand at Glass Forest's studio, each piece is custom made to order and designed with the client to meet specific needs and colors. Then ceramic based molds are created for shape, texture and dimension, then those molds are placed on the large kiln bed, then the flat sheet glass is laid on top of the glass. Next the kiln is closed and slowly heats the glass up in a controlled program. When the glass reaches around 1400 degrees, the glass slumps over the ceramic textures and molds. Once the glass is cooled and out of the kiln, specialized colored glass enamels are layered on to the back of the glass created the design and art piece. Once done the glass piece is placed back in the kiln and fired so the enamels are permanently bonded to the back of the glass.

Q: Do you install? A: Yes, Glass Forest inc. installs all the glass pieces, we used different types of hardware depending on the application. Q: Can you temper the glass for heat and safety codes? A: Yes, the glass panels can be tempered after the kiln texture to meet building code and will be heat safe for behind cooktops Q: Can I bring in my own design and you can create it on glass? A: Yes, you can bring ideas and designs, and we can use a program to render the image to show you how your design will look on the glass. I can also design ideas with you and for your space, I work closely with each client to make sure the piece is perfect for your tastes and needs. Q: Do you do flat glass backsplashes? A: No, I don't offer full height backsplashes, however we do feature pieces behind cooktops. Q: do you do showers? A: No, we don't do shower enclosures or shower doors. Q: Can your glass art go outside? A: No, the glass is for indoor applications. Q: Do you offer classes? A: No not at this time Q: How much does this type of glass art cost? A: The glass art cost is based on how much work is involved and the thickness of glass. The more detailed and complex the image, the more time and cost, simpler the image, less cost. And the thicker the glass the more expensive the glass material cost becomes.
