Flat glass is painted with a specialized glass paint and then melted in a dedicated oven at a pre-programmed high temperature. During this process, the paint adheres to the glass. The temperature in the furnace is gradually increased and then maintained, resulting in the desired color, structure, or shape of the artwork.
