Tempered Glass can be fun
There is really nothing more frustrating than scoring a beautiful piece of float glass and THEN realizing it is tempered! 

No worries!  You can still use it, better yet, you can check it for temper ahead of time


And use it in fusing projects:




Tempered Glass is also great for casting, if that's your glass pleasure


News From the Studio
The tempered glass tutorials aren't randomly timed, I'm gearing up for my next webinar about Fusing With Float Glass, and one of the segments will feature tempered glass.

Did you know you can untemper glass?  It's true, I'll show you how during the class.

The webinar is free to watch during the live broadcast (you can even ask questions), and there is a free replay in the evening if you can't watch during the day.  You don't have to register, but registered participants are entered to win free things.

Hope to see you there, in the meantime, keep the kilns hot and the beverages cold!
