Problem Solving Guide for Kiln-working Glass: Part IV
In this installment, Dan Fenton discusses causes and solutions for foreign material on the glass surface, non-glass inclusions that won't fuse and colors that change in the firing.
Coldworking Glass: Part VI - Ultraviolet Adhesives
Milon Townsend demonstrates how to use ultraviolet (UV) adhesives. We see UV bonding in many areas including dentistry, electronics and our special area of interest: glass. UV glue has a "photo-initiator" built into the formula, which when exposed to ultraviolet radiation causes the material to harden very quickly. Most UV adhesives set within 10 to 20 seconds and fully cure within 2 to 5 minutes. This is a huge advantage over other adhesives that can take 24 hours to fully cure. The quick setting time of UV adhesives allows the rapid assembly of objects with multiple joints within minutes or hours, instead of days. |

New Light from the Shadows: Berlin's Synagogue at Rykestrasse
There is a building in Berlin whose light was nearly extinguished, but now shines anew. That it does so after a hundred years of triumphs and tragedies is a credit to the spirit of its congregation, and to the remarkable artist/architect team of Ruth Golan and Kay Zareh. Their work is an inspiring demonstration of restoration as part artistry, part balancing act - a task that when done well, with imagination, sensitivity and determination, can help bring a building back to life. Sarah Hall and Jeffrey Kraegel report.
