Flatpresset flaske

Flatpresset, slumpet glassflaske, 29 cm lang. Tøff kunst, eller kanskje rett og slett et fat eller bordskåner. Kanskje snapsfat?

Det er enkelt å slumpe vinflasker og du trenger ikke nødvendigvis å benytte form. Dersom du ønsker en flat flaske legger du enkelt og greit flaska på en ovnsplate som er dekt med brennfolie, keramisk fiberpapir eller smurt med våtseparator. Deretter brenner du.

Bottle slumping is a process in which glass bottles use gravity and heat from a kiln to change the shape of the bottle. Bottle slumping has a range of possibilities and different shapes and the best thing is that you can use old wine bottles or similar, so no raw material costs. The bottle slumping process can make a number of different practical use pieces, such as trays and dishes. Beer bottles also make great spoon rests or can even be formed into a clock! Slumping molds can also be used to make some unique pieces of art.

In basic terms, the bottle slumping process involves the bottle laid over a mold on the kiln shelf. The bottle is then placed in a kiln at up to 1300 degrees Fahrenheit. As the glass is heated, gravity pulls it down over the mold. Once the bottle is formed into your desired shape, it is cooled (annealed) and brought back to room temperature to dry and harden.
