About
Water Jet is a state of the art technology that allows for precision cutting of almost any material, competing with the laser cutting industry. Water Jet is particularly suitable for the cutting of glass as it does not generate heat in the material during cutting. Computer generated drawings can be accurately transformed for machining. This research investigates the use of Water Jet with traditional kiln-forming to create new methods of glass production through the development of new generation moulds and jigs, through testing the use of traditional and non-traditional mould-making materials. My current PhD research aims to establish a new approach for creative practice, important for moving the creative field forward alongside cutting edge developments in manufacturing practice.
