At its core, sand casting glass involves shaping a mold from sand, typically mixed with a bonding agent to help it hold its form. The process begins with the creation of a pattern, which is usually crafted from wood, metal, or other materials. This pattern is then pressed into a compacted sand mixture, forming a cavity in which the molten glass will be poured. Once the pattern is removed, the mold is ready for the pouring process.
