Fused Glass Pattern Bar Project

In this fused glass tutorial, we’ll be making a pattern bar. I have a project in mind and for that, I need a pattern bar for the feature.

How to Make Simulated Turquoise Using Fused Glass

Today I’ll be sharing how I make simulated Turquoise that I use for making cabochons and more. This can be cut up to make cabochons or sliced into pieces and incorporated into other fused glass projects.

You will need just your glass kiln, the relevant glass or frit, and some way to dam up the glass into a slab.
