This fused glass project is all about reusing scrap glass and making it into something unique and interesting. The glass I’m using in this project is what was left over from a previous project making a drop vase.
The vase sort of worked, but it left a lot of glass in the rim that was cut off. And as always, never throw away any glass. It can always be reused somehow.
Discover a world of possibilities with membership in Jeff’s YouTube channel.
The video tutorial includes the design, materials, and equipment information, as well as the cutting of glass, and firing.

The Firing Schedule is in this article below.
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.
Have a peek at our growing selection of Bullseye COE 90 sheet glass.
