How it’s made
Chris Santora creating memorial glass in his studio
In the studio
Chris creates each memorial at a bench torch using clear borosilicate glass, often known as Pyrex. A small amount of cremation ash is blended into crushed colored glass, and clear molten glass is gently dipped into that mixture. The piece is then fully encased in clear glass using a scientific glassblowing technique called imploding, permanently sealing the color and ash inside the glass.
