Glass Fusing

Although an ancient art which some have dates as originating as far back as the year 2000 BC, fused glass has remained largely ignored until this century. Today, however, fused glass has seen a significant revival in popularity and has taken impressive strides in terms of technology. Fused glass is a delicate and time consuming art consisting of kiln-shaping glass at a temperature of 1500 degrees. From conception to final product, this process takes place over a minimum period of several days. Blending scientific knowledge, experimentation, and creativity, the fused glass artist creates a piece of art with their own unique signature.
