Float Glass is (in my opinion) the best glass for fusing.  It is a blank canvas that can be used for SO many things.

This tutorial walks you through using color enamels to make a pattern on one side of the glass, and adding a texture to the other side.  The resulting vase is really quite spectacular!

News From the Studio

Oh hey!  The Green Glow Goop for fusing is finally available!  I'm working up some tutorials right now, but the Goop is ready to ship.

I'm also gearing up for fall teaching, for Salt Lake City residents, there is still a few spaces in my Life Long Learning class (link below).  So far it's a really fun group of people and a relaxed atmosphere.  If you are looking for a class that teaches glass and encourages visiting, this one is for you.

Next month is my Mold Making for Glass class, and it's going to be amazing.  We will be covering:

making latex and silicone molds for wax and plaster
plaster and hydrocal molds with all kinds of additives
clay molds and texture tiles
stainless steel molds and dams
fire brick and fiber molds
household items that can be molds
and so many more things, don't miss it!

Have a great week!
