Advanced Glass Fusing ProjectsMore glass fusing projects will be added later, so be sure to check back periodically for updates. These ideas will give you an idea of the potential of fused glass and start you on your journey for trying more complex designs and incorporating your own imaginative ideas. Review the list of glass art crafts on this page to be sure you have the supplies necessary before you attempt the project.
Draping Glass Draping - These make interesting pieces of artwork. They can be used as candle holders, pieces of art, or vases. You can make these intricate pieces of artwork out of one piece of glass, or fuse two or more pieces together. These can be made out of a variety of shapes, not just round or square pieces of glass.Drop Ring Drop Ring - These take a lot of time and patience, but they are well worth the effort. Each one is unique and fascinating. You will need to purchase a drop ring mold, or make a mold for this project. Out of all the glass fusing projects, this one is the most rewarding in my opinion. It is also the most time consuming.Freeze and Fuse Freeze and Fuse - You can get great three dimensional glass pieces using this technique. You will need to purchase some molds for this method. These are fantastic to add to other pieces, or to use for making jewelry. You can mix your glass powders to make other colors, or to individually paint details in your molds.Glass Saw Pin Glass Saw Pin - Although these are not complicate to make, I have put them in the more advanced area, because they require you to use a glass saw. These glass pins are made for Halloween.Any occasion is a special event when you make and wear a fused glass pin. Inclusions
Inclusions
- There are many items that can be sealed inside fused glass artwork. Find out what items can and can't be used for this process. Add some unique details to glass fusing projects by adding some inclusions.
Picture Frame Pendant Picture Frame Pendant - Creating a pendant is much like making a picture frame, except in miniature. These make unique pieces of jewelry. These also don't need to be square or rectangular in shape. Use your imagination and some scrap glass to create your own picture frame pendant.Pocket Vases Fused Glass Pocket Vases - These take time and monitoring the kiln to achieve the desired look. I found that they are easier to make using fiber paper instead of the fiber board. The fiber board is much harder to remove from the finished piece.Pot Melt Pot Melt - Learn the exciting and rewarding process of doing a pot melt. Each and every pot melt will come out differently. Mix colors for unique one of a kind patterns and designs. These can be used as they are, slumped into a mold, or cut up and used in other fusing projects.Vitrigraph Vitrigraph - This is a very exciting procedure. Pulling and maneuvering this flow of molten glass as it seeps continuously from the supported kiln is not for the weak at heart. The possibilities with the glass that is pulled during this technique are endless. Weaving Glass Weaving - This is a fascinating process. Not only does it give your piece the look of woven cloth, but what dimension. There are a few methods for this procedure:This is just a sampling of all the glass fusing projects you can accomplish in your kiln. Remember to check back for more glass fusing projects. These will be added as time permits. Return from Glass Fusing Projects to the homepage
