橄欖綠色的實心玻璃從窯中以熔融狀態拉出。這些專門用來加熱與保存彩色玻璃的窯爐，每次只會灌入一種顏色的玻璃，像是我們這款橄欖綠，以確保整批產品的色彩一致。熔融玻璃團接著被吹製進一個經過精密加工的鋼製條紋模具中。每件作品都需要專屬尺寸與造型的鋼模，因此工廠必須準備多達 10 個模具，讓製程順暢進行，而不是重複使用同一個模具。這些模具雖然製作成本高，但對於呈現玻璃細緻紋理是必不可少的。


這段過程的重點在於說明鋼製模具與木製模具的差異：鋼模能創造出完美間距的條紋，而木模則無法承受高溫，也無法呈現如此精細的細節。每件玻璃作品完成吹製後，必須經過一道稱為「退火爐」的冷卻程序，使熔融玻璃穩定成為可使用的藝術品。最後，每件作品的上緣都會以石輪結合水與砂手工研磨，進行稱為「 冷切 」的修邊工序，使邊緣更加平滑細緻。

Solid olive green glass is pulled from the oven in a molten blob. The ovens that hold and heat this colored glass are primed and filled with one color at a time for a full production run in a single color like our olive green. The blob is then blown into a heavily machined ribbed steel mold. Each item requires it own uniquely sized and shaped steel mold for production. The factory must prepare up to 10 of these molds to "flow" the production in a smooth process - rather than to use the same mold again and again. These molds are expensive for our factory to produce, but are required for such a detailed piece of glass. The primary point here is to explain the difference between a machined steel mold, which can create these perfectly spaced ridges. Versus a wooden mold, which would not stand up nor give this level of detail to the hand blown piece of glass. Each piece must travel through a cool down process known as an annealing oven, which helps fortify the molten glass into a stable piece of useable art. The top edges of each are hand-ground on a stone wheel that utilizes water and sand to smooth the top edge in what is called a "cold cut" process.
