I started this fused glass project years ago, something went wrong and it sat on a shelf, unloved. So I set about doing something with it and I’m sure you’ll agree, it was worth the effort.
The video tutorial includes the design, materials, and equipment information, as well as the cutting of glass, firing, and slumping.
If you have any questions or comments, please enter them in the Comments section for the video.
The Firing Schedule is in this article.
Project Information
In the YouTube video, you will find links to related videos, a chapter list with time stamps, and links to more resources.
Don’t forget, the glass I normally use is Bullseye 90 COE. I use Thinfire fiber paper on the shelf, but when fire polishing on my shelf, and slumping in moulds, I spray with boron nitride mould release.
All relevant details are in the video.
If you have any questions please ask in the comments section for the YouTube video.
Remember, these schedules are for COE 90.
