r/fusedglass

Just wanted to share a piece I've been working on before it goes into the kiln.

Had to refire this one, since the first time that sand on the bottom turned an ugly black.

I've been experimenting with just using a single panel of dichroic glass and then applying a delicate image of flowers and wildflowers with enamel. The difficulty has been getting the temp just right that I don't fire too hot that the edges of the glass alter, but yet they fire polish to a smooth clean finish. Here are 3 designs so far.

Hi all, I just got into fused glass via my job. I've been having a good time... but while I was cleaning the glass area, I saw a piece labeled a "mistake" because of an air pocket...

But I liked how it looked. Is there a way to purposely create that effect?

Hi all! I’m a many-craft person and I’m interested in getting into fused glass. At the same time I’m starting out with metal clay, and I’m not opposed to learning pottery either. I know that a task-specific tool is often best, but I am not going to be owning multiple kilns in my apartment. I need a multi-tool here, and a big boy kiln is a no-go.

I’ve seen that the Vevor mini kiln ($350- link) works for pottery and metal clay but have not been able to find anyone talking about using it with glass. Does anyone have any knowledge or speculation about how well this would work? I would want to be making small flat objects, apologies but I haven’t begun my glass fusing deep dive yet so I don’t know all the terms. Thanks!
