Fused Glass Creations One

Each piece is hand cut and chipped by Judie from a rainbow selection of colors starting with art glass panels two feet by three feet in size. The original glass designs are then either full fused or tack fused in a kiln one to three times at temperatures ranging from 1400 to 2100 F degrees. Dichroic glass has been around a long time but became available for the the current choice of glass creations due to discoveries in NASA research . Science and ART do mix!! They offer an additional dimension of design creativity. This glass captures and reflects the color of light, sparkling like crystals or diamonds. Dichroic glass is composed of up to 50 layers, each as thin as a strand of human hair, of a special metal coating or film on the glass. Dichroic glass is several times costlier to make and there are only a few manufacturers in the US.
