Fused Glass Process

The Fused Glass work  I am doing for a recent Featured Show (Breathe) reflects my continued experimentation with glass as it is broken, fragmented, crushed and melted again and again. Working in this technique enabled me to create more painterly images, unlimited colors and a variety of textures. It is a slow but satisfying process.

Each firing in the kiln can be as long as 24 hours and each piece is fired 4-6 times before it is cleaned and polished.
