Glass Fusing/ Slumping



Glass fusing is a technique in which you have two clear piece of glass, say both are square, that are the same size. Between these two pieces of clay, you can put other small pieces of glass that are different colours, Frits, and bent wire shapes. Once you have a design that you're happy with, you place it in a kiln at 850c and the two pieces of clear glass will fuse together, sealing the design within it. Glass slumping is where there is a dent within a glad piece, and before it is placed in the kiln, small pieces of coloured/plain glass in placed in it, when it comes out of the kiln, the glass would have melted into its shape, filling the hole.
