Fusing fun!

[janecameron]

My new glass fusing kiln will be arriving this weekend. I'm really looking forward to it and have all sorts of exciting things lined up to experiment with.

These include metal foils, coloured glass rods, frits and powders. I have also bought my first slumping mould (!) and will be making 3D objects such as bowls and plates (and soap dishes!).

Here's a coaster I made earlier ...



I have fantastic plans involving old glass bottles and bits of the old greenhouse, and hope to do some experimenting with making cast glass paperweights.

However, the first thing I will be doing is a series of sample pieces to get the hang of the new firing cycles.

Pictures of the kiln will follow when it's safely delivered and set up!

I like the idea of recycling old glass. i look forward to seeing how that works out :)
