How I create things in my kiln, and what eventually happens to what I create...

Glass goes in the kiln, and glass comes out, quite altered! Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. That's what happens in life.

Fused bowls




15.5" diameter emerald green dichroic glass bowl with clear dichroic frit and red and blue frit.  Depth is 1.75".  Food safe.


Emerald green dichroic bowl showing depth.
Hand painted Celtic tree of life on teal/emerald dichroic glass, capped with clear.  Food safe.  17.5", 1.75" deep.  Here you see the emerald color.


Here you see the teal color!
 9.5" fish dish for a child's room.  Fish are made from different color frit, fused in a hand cut mold, then tack fired onto a fused Bullseye streamer piece backed with clear.   Food safe.




17.5" reptillian pattern dichroic bowl fused with glass beads and capped with clear glass.  Depth is 1.75".  Food safe.


My favorite contemporary piece!  17" squiggle bowl with "voltage" dichroic glass offset in the center.  The "squiggles" are glass rods slumped over forms in the kiln, then tack fused onto the fused voltage on clear base.  Not food safe.



Odd shaped 18.5" x 14" x 1.75" bowl.  Not food safe, more like a sculpture.  You can see the brilliant turquoise reflections in the dichroic glass. This glass is on a clear background, so light reflected through the bowl shines onto the surface below.
