My glass art is created by fusing together layers of glass with the heat of a kiln.
The creative process is very conscious for me with each unique piece of glass art beginning as an original sketch or personal photo. In my studio, I can cut and shape glass components with hand tools, saws, grinders and a torch.
Creating with kiln formed glass is amazing and the possibilities are as big as your imagination.
FUSED GLASS ART
In my fused glass work, I begin with a 3mm sheet of Bullseye glass that is cut and ground with traditional breakers and contemporary saws, adding glass bits and paints to create detail and dimension. Each work is fired in a kiln to set the glass fragments together.
Working with warm glass uses part creativity and part understanding how the glass will behave when heated by torch or kiln. Each color and thickness can react differently over time, but the results can be measured and then expected.
