How to Weave Glass

Weaving is an art that assumes the materials used are flexible. The trick to weaving glass is to warp a set of sticks that are pre-formed into a series of curves that fit together to create figure-eight shapes. Once the warp is shaped, it is a simple matter to slip the weft threads into place by inserting them into the holes of the figure eights from the side.

Since glass in its solid form does not bend without breaking, you need to use heat to make the glass fluid enough to bend. This is done by heating the glass in a kiln and using forms to shape it while it is in a semi-fluid state. Detailed instructions at Weavezine.com.
