David uses the kiln and the airbrush to prepare the steel molds for bending the glass pieces for the sanctuary ark doors

Michelle cuts the glass strips to be bent for the sanctuary ark door panels

The glass pieces are placed into the kiln on the prepared steel molds and fired to 1080 degrees to bend the glass

Michelle works on the delicate process of applying gold leaf to the pieces which will be part of the Chapel ark doors
