The Process
We’ve been making our world famous hand mixed sheet glass for over 122 years. The process remains very much the same as is was in the beginning.
“Recipes” that are over 122 years old are still hand mixed to make our world famous sheet art glass. The ingredients are placed into one of the 12 pots of our furnace and overnight they are melted together in preparation to become KOG sheet art glass.
Glass is scooped out of the pots using one of many sizes of ladles and placed on the mixing table. The molten glass is then hand mixed and sent through the rollers which contain one of 17 textures and positioned to go through the Lehr (the annealing oven) which takes about 1/2 hour to be annealed.
Once annealed it is onto the cutting table and hand cut then packed up for shipment. This is a very labor intensive process of producing hand mixed sheet glass in this manner.
