Fused Glass

Fused Glass work is a generic term used to describe the manipulation of glass in a kiln. Usually, glass (and other) elements are put together in a kiln, which is then heated to fuse the glass into a solid mass. Temperature control is essential, along with considerable experience in the different actions of glass and other elements while in the kiln. Once the glass fuses together, it is necessary to control the temperature of the kiln to anneal the glass, or it will literally self-destruct with temperature changes.

We just love glass, in all shapes, and forms and. We make glass beads, and incorporate them with our fused glass items along with other materials, and love the diversity that can be achieved in working with glass.

Contrasted with Woodworking, which is essentially a subtractive process, working with glass is usually an additive process. You begin with an idea and add glass to get what you wish to create. Of course, dealing with hot glass can be a difficult process to learn, particularly for individuals that are used to touching their work! Fortunately, most of the manipulation of glass in the fusing process is done while the glass is cool, so it isn't as physically demanding as working with hot glass like beads.
