46: Glass fusing

Another New Skill, although I'm not sure it counts as a "skill" yet, I did a taster day at the local adult education centre. The idea is so simple, you cut shapes from glass, add glass spaghetti or crumbs, maybe season with various oxide powders, sandwich in another layer and when the tutor's baked it at 790-850*C it's turned into something brilliant!




I haven't quite got the feel for how opaque it is, or how the colours behave. I have a 3 session course later in the year so watch this space!
