This sample features layers of iridised glass with controlled air bubbles enclosed in a geometric grid pattern. Our Tesseract fused glass designs consist of multiple layers of glass, created by hand at our Studio.

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.
