Course content
1.-2. Refining of glass I - grinding, polishing 3.-4. Glass refining II - sandblasting, engraving 5-6 Chemical refinement of glass - chemical polishing, matting, etching 7-8 Glass painting - with glass firing colors and precious metals 9-10 Lying glass and fused plastic 11.-12. Glass defects. 13. Eligibility. The student will get to know the principles on which traditional mechanical refining procedures are based and the equipment on which they can be implemented. These include grinding, grinding, sandblasting and engraving. The student will gain knowledge about the chemical processing of glass, which includes etching, matting and chemical polishing, the use of which is relatively widespread in the glass industry. At the same time, he will obtain information about the hygienic and ecological risks of these procedures and the binding conditions for their use. The student will become familiar with the procedures used in glass painting, both glass firing colors and precious metals and the conditions for firing decor. The student will become familiar with the basics of the creation and workshop practice of lying glass and fused sculpture. The last chapter is dedicated to glass defects and obtaining information about the causes of their occurrence and the possibilities of their removal.
