When fused glass artists create glass pieces, whether it’s jewelry or art pieces, there is a lot of what we call “scrap” or leftover glass. Moreover, sometimes when we create fused glass pieces some of the pieces don’t turn out quite as well as […]
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 […]
I am so blessed to know so many amazing artists. Yesterday, I met an incredible fused glass, stain glass, and mold artist, his name is Paul Hathcoat. He has been a stain glass and a fused glass artist for over 30 years. Sadly he is going out of business after […]
