Art glass is a process that combines art and craft to create on glass. Through a variety of cutting blowing grinding, polishing, firing, trimming and other processing, so that the glass like rubber is given a new color and shape, so as to achieve people's aesthetic value.
The development of glass art can be traced back to 2000 BC, when there was only the original material of glass, and there was no craft manufacturing. By about 200 BC people began to make use of glass research technology, they began to explore the glass, such as glass particles into the earth to bake and then step on the foot into various shapes but this technology can not get the material can not be used and abandoned. After the Middle Ages, colored glass Windows still appeared, and gradually this beautiful window was used as decoration, mainly on the religious honeycomb but there was no other creativity and development other than color.

Today's art glass process has been very mature, China's glass art has three major processes:
1. Art glass comprehensive production class:
2. Cold processing of clothing glass, including inlaid glass, chemical etching, tool engraving, sandblasting engraving, cutting molding, pasting molding, glass vertical molding, painting and sandwich.
3. Hot processing of clothing glass, including blowing, casting, pressing, sintering, melting, color glaze, drop firing, hot melting, hot bending.
What problems should be paid attention to in the manufacturing process of art glass?
1, Choose the appropriate materials, glass raw materials should be purchased in the formal building materials market 3c certification materials, at the same time to compare the quality, choose less impurities materials for processing.
2, Ensure that the art process is correct in place, which requires professional personnel or trained personnel to operate, such as blowing glass to control the heat and time and other issues. The use and control of acid etched glass using acid etched liquid.
3, Do a good job of safety measures, which is an essential hidden danger in the duty project, such as wearing gloves and using protective film, etc., to ensure the basic safety of personnel.
