What is Glass?• Glass is a state of matter, not a
substance.
• Glass combines some properties of crystals and some of liquids but is distinctly different from both.
• Glass has the mechanical rigidity of crystals, but the random disordered arrangement of molecules that characterizes liquids.
• Glass are usually formed by melting crystalline materials at very high temperatures. When the melt cools, the atoms are locked into a random (disordered) state before they can form into a perfect crystal arrangement.

Properties of GlassWhen created properly, glass can be:
Strong resists breaking when it has few surface imperfections & is cooled slowly
Hard surface resists scratches and abrasions.
Elastic gives under stress - up to a breaking point - but rebounds exactly to its original shape.
Chemical Corrosion-Resistant
Thermal Shock- Resistant
Heat-Absorbent
Optical Properties
Electrical Insulating

The History of Glass
– When it was discovered– How it was discovered– Where it was discovered– What its first uses were

Discovery
• Natural glass, obsidian, is formed by volcanoes and has been used since the stone age for tools
• Glass was discovered by accident as part of the copper smelting process in 1000 b.c. in Phoenicia (modern day Lebanon)
• Glass was first used as beads in jewelry

Ancient Glass vs. Modern Glass
The chemical composition
of glass has not changed much
since ancient times

In Ancient Rome…
Glass was so precious, the emperor Nero paid $500 dollars for one goblet!

The Island of Murano, Italy
• During 13th century Venice became the center of glassblowing. For safety, and to keep the process secret, the furnaces were moved to the Island of Murano, off the coast of Venice

Renaissance to Modern Day
• Glassblowing was a dying Art. Mechanized processes overtook the hand-blown quality of the art
• During the 1960’s there was a rebirth of the Art Glass movement.
• Art Glass is increasingly popular since that time.

Learning to Blow Glass
• A glassblower is also called a “gaffer”
![Page 17: Glass](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4bc15bb61eb566c8b4624/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Materials
• Glass “cullet” is melted in the furnace
• Frit – different shapes and colors of glass added for interest, color and texture
![Page 18: Glass](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022110318/55d4bc15bb61eb566c8b4624/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Tools
• The “punti” a long steel rod used to manipulate the glass
• The “blow pipe” used to actually blow the glass
• Molds – used for shaping the glass
