Alchemy Glass handcrafted sinks are only available through select decorative plumbing dealers, and Belmont Hardware is excited to announce that they are now a new dealer for Alchemy Glass in the new Belmont decorative plumbing hardware showroom location. These fused glass sinks, manufactured in Los Angeles, are amazingly gorgeous and each one is truly an original work of art.
Alchemy Glass has been crafting these studio made fused glass sinks for over 15 years in their Los Angeles factory. There is no pigment added to the glass or painting of patterns, by applying only natural elements, they have been able to create artistry for beautiful homes.
"Colors not only vary from piece to piece but also within a piece itself, depending on how the piece is lit and from what angle you may be viewing it."
Using a process in which glass is fused and slumped, it is slowly heated in an oven in excess of 1000 degrees, trapping a mixture of minerals and metals within the glass sink design. Alchemy Glass has perfected this process over many years of trial and error; of cooling and heating the glass to create complete works of art for homeowners.
Passionate artists, the Alchemy Glass Studio takes two or more weeks to complete a glass sink from start to finish. Each extraordinary sink is truly a one of a kind design, as the natural processes of heating the glass and mixing in the additional elements cannot be controlled by the artists, only influenced. These "Art for the Bath" sinks are definitely worth waiting for!
