退火是玻璃艺术创作中必不可缺的重要一环，也是玻璃最终成型的关键所在。炙热的熔料在上千度的温度下被塑型，随后经过加热-保温-慢冷-快冷四个退火步骤，使其减缓冷却速度的同时降低玻璃的永久应力。过程中变化种种虽可控，但亦有天数。期间，结果的未知性和偶然性也带给玻璃作品不可预知的宿命，令人着迷。

Annealing is an essential part in creating glass art, and also, key to its final formation. The raw materials are burnt at over 1,000 °C until they turn into molten glass, ready for formation. Then the annealing process begins by heating the formed glass, and then keeping it warm, first slowly cooling it and then quickly cooling it. While slowing the speed of cooling, it can relieve the residual stress within the glass. Though controllable, it takes time to finish the process. But what is really fascinating is that it is the unknown and uncertainty in annealing that bring an unpredictable life to the glass artwork.
