Fused Glass by Anitra Watley Allen

 

 

.

I've been playing at fusing the glass for a few years now.  Doing it by the book and with advice from the "pros" but still never really knowing just what I was doing; I believe I've made most of the mistakes one could make twice.  I've learned from this school of  "hard knocks";  more and more "keepers" are coming for my kilns these day.   So I'm now teaching a class about everything I'd wish someone had shown me to the begin with.

 

 

    wpe5.jpg (6768 bytes)My first experiments were copper "inclusions” that is placing the wire stickmen-women between layers of glass and fusing the lwpe6.jpg (6352 bytes)ayers together in the kiln at about 1400 degrees F

A few were sold on ebay to (all but one) great reviews. Galleries who sell my ceramic works placed a few. Yet still I uncertain just what it is I should do... here is a sing-song way I leave this up to you.

 

 

 Then I went a little buggy.  What does one do with these  boggles one creates from glass?

more to come before the end of April......
