Knitted glassware

Seattle based artist Carol Milne has come up with a technique to create sculptures in glass that look as if they were knit. She starts out by making a model in wax which she then places in a mould, exposing it to high temperatures. Next, she melts part of the wax and inserts glass into the mould. Subsequently, she places all of it in a ceramic oven and lets it sit there at temperatures of 1400-1600 degrees Fahrenheit. Finally, she lets the sculptures cool off for a couple of weeks. The result is an astonishing collection of knitted glassware.
