"Hi I’m Anna from Annawillowglassdesign.30art.com and I wanted to show you the annealer that we use in the glass blowing studio. After we have created a piece of glass and we have to put it inside of this oven which is 900 degrees and let it cool off slowly over about 12 hours. So basically we leave it overnight in here until it cools down to room temperature and then you can take the glass piece out and it’s finished. This one has a computer control on it that you can see the digital display on here. This is how we know how hot it is and so we don’t open it too early in the morning. Before in the old world, people used to anneal their glass by putting it on top of their furnace which was spread by fire so it took a little bit longer and it was much more complicated but now thanks to modern technology, we have a computer controlled annealing.
