Bottle Glass

The glass used in commercial bottles, e.g., wine bottles, is very stiff and melts at a high temperature. I like to smash bottles and remelt the pieces. The glass is so stiff that it does not completely flow back together, so each individual broken piece can still be seen in the larger work.
