Fused Glass Adventure



It's not fiber, but it WAS cool ... we took a glass fusing or "hot glass" class at Sundancer Stained Glass last night (thanks to a deal through Living Social!). We won't get the finished product until Friday, but this is what our pieces looked like going into the kiln:

Top row: Keara, Jen, me; bottom row: Sheila
Keara and Jen used dichrotic glass pieces and textured glass. I used colored" stringers" on a white background, and Sheila made a mosaic piece with a lot of different kinds of glass in shades of green and blue.
Patrick chose to make his piece with millefiore -- tiny glass rounds with intricate patterns.

Stay tuned until Friday to see how they all turned out after firing!
