Abstract:

 The history of ceramic production dates back approximately ten thousand years, while the history of artificial glass dates back five thousand years. The production technology that developed with the industrial revolution increased the use of glass packaging products; however, glass container materials of jars, perfumes, medicines and consumable liquid beverages posed a threat that would disrupt the ecological balance as waste garbage. Due to the increasing production costs of factories, the reduction of consumption of raw material resources and the desire to prevent environmental pollution, the recycling method has been started to be implemented within the framework of regulations for the recovery of paper, metal and glass waste. This article includes the conversion of collected solid glass waste materials into micronized glass grains between 100-3000 microns with the recycling method and the shaping processes of artworks with the recovered glass grains. The most important feature of the research is that the glass paste pâte de verre technique was performed using open baked biscuit clay molds. The designs of the glass works to be shaped within the scope of the study were considered, their dimensions were determined, and baked clay molds of different diameters were shaped and produced on the potters wheel. Recycled waste glass shards were placed into terracotta molds and shaped by heat treatment at 750  C to 950  C in a fusion furnace. As a result, an average of 50 glass works of different diameters and colors were created.

 Seramik yapımının geçmişi ortalama on bin yıl, yapay camın geçmişi ise beş bin yıl öncesine dayanmaktadır. Sanayi devrimi ile gelişen üretim teknolojisi cam ambalaj ürünlerin kullanımını artırmış; bununla beraber kavanoz, parfüm, ilaç ve tüketilebilir sıvı içeceklerin cam kap malzemeleri atık çöp olarak ekolojik dengeyi bozacak bir tehdit oluşturmuştur. Fabrikaların artan üretim maliyetleri, hammadde kaynaklarının tüketiminin azaltılması ve çevre kirliliğinin önüne geçilmek istenmesi sebebi ile kâğıt, metal ve cam atıkların geri kazanılması için geri dönüşüm yöntemi yönetmelikler çerçevesinde uygulanmaya başlanmıştır. Bu makale, toplanan katı cam atık malzemelerin geri dönüşüm yöntemi ile mikronize boyutta 100-3000 mikron arası cam taneciğine dönüştürülmesini ve geri kazanılan cam tanecikleri ile sanat eserlerinin şekillendirilme süreçlerini içermektedir. Araştırmanın en önemli özelliği, cam hamuru pâte de verre tekniğinin pişmiş bisküvi toprak açık kalıplar kullanılarak yapılmış olmasıdır. Çalışma kapsamında şekillendirilecek olan cam eserlerin tasarımları düşünülmüş, ölçüleri belirlenmiş, çömlekçi çarkında farklı çaplarda pişmiş toprak kalıplar şekillendirilmiş ve üretilmiştir. Pişmiş toprak kalıpların içine geri dönüşümle elde edilen atık cam kırıkları yerleştirilerek füzyon fırınında 750 C ile 950 C derecelerde ısıl işleme tabi tutularak biçimlendirilmiştir. Sonuçta, farklı çaplarda ve renklerde ortalama 50 cam eser ortaya çıkarılmıştır.
