Creating it was a 4-step process.
Glass Selection: First, two squares of glass were cut to the size of the finished dish and stacked, with a piece of clear glass containing black streamers & confetti inclusions on top of a piece of pink glass.
Fusing in the Kiln: The two layers went into a electric kiln and were heated to 1475 degrees, at which point the two layers melted and fused together.
Refining the Edges: After cooling, the edges were ground to eliminate irregularities.
Shaping the Dish: One more firing was required to transform it into a dish. To do this the flat, fused glass square was placed in the kiln on top of a mold and heated to 1250 degrees. At this temperature the glass softened and gravity caused the square to sink into the mold and assume its final shape.
