How it's Made
Plan the Kiln Layout
To maximise the use of the kiln, I work out what I can fit in to the available space using paper templates.
Bending the Wire
Using copper and brass wire, the shapes are made using the template as a guide.
Cut and Shape the Glass
The glass pieces are cut to shape as far as possible, then the edges ground to fit within the wires.
Loading the Kiln
Everything is laid out carefully on the kiln base. The wires are sandwiched between two sheets of clear glass.
Fusing and Annealing
The kiln is left on overnight, heating up fairly rapidly, but cooling very slowly to help prevent weakness and cracking.
Finishing Touches
I sew felt pouches for presentation and extra protection.
Photographing the Glass
Photographing the glass turned out to be one of the more difficult things to do...
Packaging
I take great care in packaging your purchase so that it reaches you in one piece.
