Mexican Decoratives An interesting
aspect of hand blown glass is the raw material for
its elaboration, which comes from recycleable glass,
basically of commercial packages. The load or “pedacería”
of different quality and manifold origin, is transformed in the furnace
at one thousand two hundred degrees of temperature in a viscous broth
of mixed smelting and uniform appearance. |

At
the moment of initiating the task, the characteristics of each hand
blown glass piece will be established by the craftsmen previously
in the case of the reproduction, thought if he´s going to create
or intuited, if a lyricism luck induces to improvise with new solutions.
The process of creating a hand blown glass piece initiates
when senior officers or “aparazonador” takes part taking a
small sample to prove the state of the fused mass. This is made with the
cane blow, a meter and a half long iron tube with fuze in an end.
The cane with a
small amount of fuzed glass is taken, this will constitute
the structural base of all object, whatever it´s form or its volume;
the art of the glass does not admit slowness because the crafter has
to work against the gradual hardening of the matter, whose cooling occurs
a speed of 10 degrees per second. |

Again on a plastic state, viscous and maleable, the incandescent piece of the hand blown glass is trusted to the finisher. The finishing teacher, peak of the artisan hierarchy, in his special bank of work, models the hand blown glass piece with the attendance of the apprentice or “asero” that will provide the finisher with the glass to add mising elements to the piece. The final piece is taken by a craftsman known as pin to a coffer, a heating furnace. In the coffer the piece will go through a cooling period of 24 hours, leaving the glass ready. The value and merit
of the blown glass objects, lays directly in the difficulties
of its elaboration that depend on the complications of the formal design;
that is to say, the special amount of used colors, effects. The most
important reason is the work of the handcrafters and the personal effort
made in each piece. |
