The Glass Bottle Kiln is built with recycled wine bottles which are held together by sandy soil.
The firing, which is carried out with wood, must ascend gradually, taking from 8 to 10 hours, to arrive at a temperature of 800-900°C, the point at which the glass begins its fusion. Inside the kiln, the flames can be seen to rise slowly towards the chimney until exiting and dissolving in twirls of a thousand sparks.
The Glass Bottle Kiln had become a glass grotto with thousands of translucent stalactites
Thanks to all friends and helpers, how were involved in building and firing.
