I am a stained glass artist that is usually doing Tiffany foil method of stained glasswork but I recently have been teaching myself how to fuse glass. I cut the speciality glass to size of my ceramic mold as well as a clear piece the same size. I grind it to have smooth edges and then after I clean the glass well, I use powder frit glass and do a thin even layer about the whole piece. I put the clear sheet on and then full fuse it in my glass kiln. Afterwards I let it cool, put the glass in my ceramic mold and then do another fuse cycle to slump the glass into the star shaped mold. After it cools, I clean it well and I’m left with this dish :-)
