I created this piece with the help of glass workers from the Dillsboro Green Energy Park, as a part of my Engineering Technology Materials and Processes class. The process I used to make this paper weight helped me get a better understanding of how glass works when it is subjected to high levels of heat, over 2000 fahrenheit. I also learned how the properties of glass can be changed using fluxes. The link below is to a report I wrote about the process.
