Notas do Editor
- Often see in windows, cathedrals
- See a lot of plates and bowls made this way, esp if you frequent craft fairs like Crafty Bastards
- Most difficult of the 3Can make sophisticated pieces where colors swirl together, big art pieces like Chihuly’s chandelier at the Bellagio
- Been around since 2000 BC – Egypt3 techniques: Fusing, Slumping, Casting
- Small knife, looks like an Exacto penScore the glass, it’s crystal so it breaks along your score!
- Stack the pieces into your design
- CAREFULLY place in a kiln Fire at a relatively high temperatureHow hot you fire determines how fully the glass layers melt together
- Result is a flat piece of glass (unless you just did tack fusing)
- Drape the flat glass over a mold
- Put in the kiln a second time at a lower temperatureDANGER if you open the kiln too soon, the glass will cool too quickly and break
- Result is glass with a shape – usually a curve of some kind
- Cast glass is another kiln-fired technique. You make a mold then put broken glass into itFire at a high tempChallenge: tubes with curves!
