There are so many ways to create fused glass bowls. A new way I recently learned is called slurry’s because you create it using wet glass powder. I also added frit and vitrigraph. It’s great because you can add various colors and make various designs. These are 4 that I […]
I have been busy making new fused glass pieces for my show at the Holly Berry Festival 16-18 Sep. I’m asked a lot to make purple pieces. These are pretty cool one is a dark purple with Victorian flower texture and the other is a streaky […]
During my Woodland Park show. A wonderful customer bought my multi season fused glass aspens. Sadly before she got it home it was dropped and broke. As I’ve mentioned in the past. If someone buys a large fused glass piece from me and they break it (within a couple of […]
So I just finished 3 fused glass bowls. I can leave them as bowls they are little 5 inch dishes that are perfect for pretty much anything. But the bottoms on them are awesome too! […]
Crazy busy week I just got home from my month long trip. It’s so good to be home. I put some custom orders in the kiln as soon as I got home. This is a set of Fused Glass coasters, albeit they aren’t quite done. I’m going to put a […]
So I’ve been blogging about my trip to New York including Corning, Vitrix, my present from CMOG, Niagra Falls, etc. This blog will be about my fused glass class with Amanda and Lance Taylor at Oatka Studios in Batavia, New York. First I’ve never seen a studio so packed full […]
Since last month’s DYK is about how I start a fused glass I thought I’d show you a fused glass piece that had so much potential I changed my mind 3 different times! As I create pieces whether it’s a dish or pendant there are left over pieces so I […]
The majority of last month I was busy with commercial fused glass orders so those processes and fused glass pieces monopolized the majority of my newsletter blogs. I got a short break from commercial orders and I’ve actually been enjoying my big kiln for over a week. Wow have I had […]
So September’s mold of the month isn’t just one mold but a concept. Typically when slumping into a mold one cuts the glass to match the mold but that’s not always the case. First with the green and red fused glass dish, you can tell the mold was much bigger […]
August’s Fresh From the Kiln and mold of the month are small triangle dishes. They are perfect for potpourri, candles, or my favorite for rings. But they can be used for anything you want or just for decoration. The mold was had made by my good friend, Paul, whom I’ve […]
My Fresh From the Kiln for July is based on the review I wrote regarding Bullseye’s “Kilnforming With Rods” video. I’m not one to just like strips so I used a combination of some of the variations the video showed. I also […]
There are two main types of COE that I use and I’ve blogged about coefficient of expansion (COE) of fused glass many times. As I mentioned before COE is how glass expands and contracts when it heats and cools. When glass is the same COE and is considered fusible it […]
So as I mentioned in a previous blog I have countless fused glass molds, so many in fact that I haven’t used them all. I want to change that. To make sure I do, I’m going to start using them and posting the […]
