New tools and materials, mostly from the glass industry, are expanding the means of expression. The Loire studio are at the forefront of innovation in this field.
New tools: large baking ovens (170 x 320 cm and 150 x 250 cm useful), screen printing, gun for grisaille and enamels.
New materials: fusing compatible lenses, silicone glue, laminating resin, ...
New know-how at the service of creation:
- Thermoforming: under the action of heat the glass softens and descends by gravity onto the shapes of the mold above which it is placed. Glasses 6 to 25 mm thick can be thermoformed and then "tempered" for safety
- Fusing: colorless or colored pieces of glass are superimposed, then the whole is fused in an oven at about 840 ° C
- Laminating resin: assembly by a resin colored glasses on a glass support generally colorless
- Silicone bonding: these soft glues resist humidity. Walls or sculptures glued on slice are made by this process
