Proven Glass Fusing Tools and Supplies

Search the internet to find the best prices for the items you need.

If one on-line store has the product cheaper, you might consider if shipping would make the item just as costly as purchasing it from the more expensive supplier.

Check around to see if you can find a local glass fusing supply store in your area.

For on-line purchased, check out the page on "Art Glass Supplies" , for a list of glass fusing suppliers.

To start out with your glass fusing adventure, you might want to purchase just the necessary items. As you explore and venture out, purchase other items to add texture and interest to your fused glass art.

Add the following basic list for fusing:

As you get more involved in fusing, you should consider all the following glass fusing tools and supplies:

As you can see, glass fusing can get very expensive.

All the glass fusing tools and supplies don't need to be purchased in the beginning.

Starting with the basic tools and supplies will allow you to cut glass and fuse a basic piece of glass.

Then you can slowly purchase other supplies as needed.

You can even use household items such as baking soda to achieve some bubbles.

Venture out and make your own homemade tools and glass fusing supplies.

These tools and supplies include and are not limited to using:

The kiln is a necessity, but you can wait to purchase a grinder and glass saw.

There are so many types and sizes of kilns.

Decide what your space and needs are before you purchase.

Search for prices, not only for the product, but shipping costs.

Kilns are not light and the shipping might be expensive.

These are things to consider before you purchase.

There are many different types of grinders in a variety of price ranges.

These are not necessary to do glass fusing, but sure come in handy for smoothing out edges, or taking off just a little glass.

There are also a few different glass saws available.

This is an item you might not need or want at first.

I can tell you from experience, though, once you try one, you won't want to hand cut your glass any more.

After and extensive search of the internet and local stores for a glass saw, I found that Diamond Drill and Tool has the best prices around.

Even with shipping I saved about $60 on purchasing my glass saw from this company.

Once you have a few pieces you are going to want to invest in a good camera so that you can photograph all these pieces!
