A Stone's Throw Glass

Fused Glass
Fused Glass
After creating a design for glass from a sketch, I cut the coloured glass and piece together the layers of the 'puzzle'. These are fused (melted) flat in the kiln, often upwards of 12 hours to ensure proper heating and annealing for the glass. When the annealing and cooling process is complete, the flat piece gets cold-worked (edge grinding, sanding, buffing) and readied for the second time in the kiln for the slumping process. It is during this second firing that the piece takes its shape, whether to become a shallow dish, a plate, or a bowl. Depending on the size and thickness of the piece, this firing can also take upwards of 12 hours in the kiln.

When the pieces are finished, they are cleaned and ready to serve or display food, or to be used as stunning decor pieces for your home.

Fused glass panels are often fired several times (6, 7, even 8 or more) to get more detail added to the piece. The firing process can take up most of the time spent on a piece, after the initial design work is completed.
