This technique involves combining small pieces of glass, filling the gaps with colored glass powder, and firing them in a kiln to create beautiful mosaic patterns. Furthermore, they blend their own colors and add glass powder that changes color during firing, achieving unique depth and richness in their colors. The couple carries out the above process together, producing handmade glass vessels that exude a sense of warmth.
