Pate de verre is the process of taking cold glass that has been crushed or ground into a powder - sometimes converted to a paste with binders - and placing it in refractory molds to be fired at approximately 800° C.
The pulverized glass mixed with binding agents can be applied directly into open molds with a brush, similar to the process of stamping.

But in the video, we will show you the process of crushed glass placed in a lost wax mold, as well as in a container hanging over it, and flow during firing into the prepared space.
