Did you know ...
This section will be used to answer any questions you may have or to pass on tidbits of information that add value and enhance knowledge regarding fused glass, metals, or jewelry in general. Let me know if you have anything you'd like me to include.
May's "Did You Know" is about a glass technique. Did you know that glass can be created using glass powder, water, a mold, the freezer, and of course a kiln.
It's true and very fun. You may ask why would you want to create fused glass this way. There are many reasons. Two of the typical ways to create fuse glass are either putting frit in a cast mold and fuse it in the kiln or fusing glass together, then cutting shapes out of the glass blank. However, as I've mentioned in other newsletter DYK articles, glass likes to be 6mm thick, with freeze and fuse there are so many more options.
