Glass Fusing Center!

Glass Fusing is fun at any age!  It's fun, simple, and easy! Come in and check out our new Glass Fusing Center and fuse away your day!

What is Glass Fusing?

Glass Fusing is simply the process of stacking two or more layers of glass together to make a design, then placing the stacked glass in the kiln, where it melts together.  It's easy and it's simple, not to mention fun and creative!  Great for adults and kids.  No experience is required and our glass fusing center can be quickly mastered!

 

Different Ways of Firing

Tack Fusing - The project will have slightly rounded, polished edges and a highly textured surface where each design element remains distinctly raised above the base.  Great project to place in a frame to hang on your wall.

 

Full Fusing - The top layer of glass is completely merged into the bottom layer, creating a smooth surface and rounded edges.  Ideal for trivets, bowls, or other decorative pieces.

 

Slumping - Once fused into a single unit (tack fused or full fused), the project can be returned to the kiln and slumped over a mold of your choice.  This transforms the flat project into a functional or artistic three-dimensional piece, such as a bowl, vase, or tray.
