Tehran – In collaboration with Iran’s Glass Products and Ceramic Museum, the Art University will hold a science session entitled “Exploring the Art of Iran’s Glass Manufacturing.”
This session will explore the history, technology and importance of glass manufacturing in Iran and feature researchers and experts in this field, reporting the ISNA.
The event will include presentations by several academics and experts. Somae Nagani, a faculty member of the Department of Cultural and Historical Artifact Restoration at the University of Arts, discusses “The Story told by the Glass: A Scientific Perspective on Technology in the Ancient World.”
Navid Salehvand, director of Iran’s Glass Products and Ceramic Museum, will present “A Study of the Evolution of Iran’s Glass Manufacturing: From Its Origins to the End of the Sassanid Era.”
Furthermore, Abbas Karimi, an artist and researcher specializing in historical glass, talks about the “importance of glass manufacturing techniques in the 4th and 5th centuries (Seljuk period).”
Katayon Mohammadian, a collection custodian at Iranian Glass and Ceramic Museum, worked on “Night Lamp: Lighting Tools for Iranian Glass and Ceramic Museum” and was a member of Hanienicka, a faculty member of the Islamic Art Department of Art University. Explore Will, “Glass as the Origin of Lusterware Pottery.”
The session will be held at the University of Arts Institute until March 2nd from 1 to 4pm.
Glimpse into traditional Iranian glasswork
Making handmade glassworks has a long history in Iran, as archaeological evidence suggests that its ancient date has returned to c. 2000 BC. As visited Iran said, material found from various sites such as UNESCO registered sites such as the regions of UNESCO, Susa, Persepolis and Lorestan proved this claim.
The different ways to make traditional glass are blowing, mold bowling, and pressing. Initially, to produce glass with the technique of blowing (free blowing), glass raw materials, mostly glass particles, are poured into the furnace and melted.
After it has completely melted, the craftsman soaks a blow pipe named Dam into the melted glass during rotation. After ingesting a small portion of the molten glass, Workman enters a bowl in the dam, now called Baar, spools at one end of the blowpipe, bringing a small bubble called “the first ball.”
In the next stage, another part of the Baar is taken from the spool of the furnace around the first ball, and Workman creates the desired shape by forming the ball using a tool named “wooden spoons”. I will. When the generated object is exposed to normal air, it will break immediately after cooling.
Therefore, inside the glass workshop at a temperature of 45-55°C, the objects are gradually cooled and the temperature in the room in the atmosphere changes. In the mold blowing method, a portion of the molten glass is collected from the furnace using a dam, and after preparation and spraying, another portion is added to the first bowl, heated, and finally the mold shape is turned into Swell into a mold to get it.
