Glass fusing
Glass fusing is a creative technique where pieces of glass are melted together in a kiln to form a single, cohesive piece. Using specialized glass for fusing, which is made to endure the high temperatures of a kiln, enables artists to blend different colors and textures to craft elaborate and detailed compositions. Kiln glass, specifically formulated for this process, ensures that the glass pieces bond perfectly during heating, resulting in beautifully fused artworks and functional pieces like jewelry, tiles, and decorative panels.

Reactive Potential
By combining a color that contains copper (‡) with one that contains sulfur (‡), a chemical reaction resulting in copper-sulfide may occur. Different colors hold different amounts of the reactive materials. Results are not quantifiable or uniform, and will vary based on batch, process temperature, specific combination of colors, etc. Have fun experimenting!
