There are examples of different ways the piece can be created.For this project, we make 6″ square dishes using pieces of different colored glass. The process involves firing the glass twice. Once into a flat square and then slumped into a mold to make the dish. You start with a pre-cut, six inch square for a base. This will be the bottom side of the dish. There are several colors to choose from.
Then the fun begins as you start cutting and piecing together the top side of the dish. These are selected from many different colors of glass as you arrange them on the bottom square.
The work can be as tight or as loose as you like. In the end it will melt together no matter what, making a beautiful dish.
The technique is called “fused glass” sometimes “warm glass” or “kiln formed glass” The process is really simple. Since the glass is melted together, the work does not have to be that exact. This makes it a relaxing, enjoyable activity and a lot of creative fun.Color is the key. We have a wide selection of glass to work from.
The finished piece is like none other. The finished hand built dish is truly one of a kind. Our glass studio is nice and clean with good lighting and big tables to work on.
Fused Glass Group Session Working with others in a quiet setting invites friendly conversation. It opens up the opportunity to talk to others and share different viewpoints.Six inch square dishes
