This sample features various sizes of glass spheres fused together to form a solid flat panel. Glass spheres used for the fusing are available in a range of colours / sizes. Suitable for table tops and wall art.

Fused Glass

• Fused glass is made from separate pieces of glass that have been heat bonded together. This is done by layering either multiple pieces of glass, glass frit, or glass powders and heating (through a process of raising and holding the kiln temperatures at various steps) until the glass pieces fuse together.
• Not all glass can be fused together. The glass used must all have the same co-efficiency of thermal expansion (the amount the glass expands when heated / cooled). If the glass used were to have different co-efficiencies of thermal expansion, areas of the glass would expand at a different rate when heated and contract at a different rate when cooled – creating structural pressures on the fused panel.
