1. Choose a glass blank. We have circles or square glass blanks in clear, white, and black.
2. Choose from a wide selection of colored glass pieces, and design your pattern on the glass blank.
3. We put your piece into our glass kiln. As the glass is heated it becomes fluid, and the pieces stick (or fuse) together.
4. After your piece has been fused, we can use a mold and re-fire your glass piece to "slump" it into a bowl, plate, sushi dish, nightlight, or votive
candle holder.

Prices range from $15 up and vary depending upon size of project and embellishments added (ie: dichroic glass, precuts, & decals)
