Application of molds for creation of glass castings is a common occurrence in work of glass artist. One of the main aims of mold’s using is to create new patterns on a surface of glass sample. Generally, clay flower pots with a hole in bottom are used as glass molds where glass of different color is put. As the result, very interesting but absolutely unpredictable pattern, which would never be replicated, appears on a surface of a sample. So, the problem how to create the pattern, which can be replicated, appeared...

The goal of the research is to reconstruct the interior and iconostasis of the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral (1839–1864) in Vyatka (now Kirov, Russia) and the Dormitory church in Kukarka (now Sovetsk, Kirov region). Both are associated with names of exiled capital architect Alexander Vitberg and painter and architect Micha?o Elwiro Andriolli (correspondingly). The passing results of findings and researches made in 2016 are represented in this article. Research methods include archival and bibliographic stages, the ic...

The objective of this research is a development of new technology of creation of a glass mosaic, which will allow us to produce products of arts and crafts without application of a cement assembly due to its replacement with heat treatment (tack fusing). This paper presents the technology of tack fusing, which imitates the technology of creation of the Byzantine mosaic. Main results of the experiments revealing nature of glass behavior during heat treatment are presented. On their basis the author submits some app...

The objective of this research is identification, studying and analysis of the most often used methods of creation patterns on a surface and in face cuts of blanks and pre-fusions. This paper for the first time presents classification of the methods described above by a number of signs: by a receiving way, by character of the location of a pattern and by the character of glass melt flow. Also in this work three various ways of creation so-called “chaotic pattern” on a front surface and in a volume of a blank o...
