Get Started In Glass Fusing & Slumping

What is Glass Fusing? "Fusing" is the process of heating glass to extreme temperatures until glass melts (fuses) together. Fusing glass in a kiln is a fascinating technique that enables artists and crafters to create unique and gorgeous projects. Fusing is a process, just like stained glass or mosaics, and once you know all the terms and tools, the possibilities are endless and the results are amazing! Levels of Fusing Tack Fusing: Fusing two or more layers together while keeping sharp edges. Medium Fuse: Glass is partially melted and edges are rounded. Full Fuse: Pieces are melted into one single unit. Surface has no texture. Slumping: The process of shaping glass using a mold, heat and gravity.

Step-by Step: Glass Fusing
1.	One way to create with fusible glass is to use a mold to slump the glass, as we did to create this plate. Fused glass plates are excellent beginner projects. Decorate a clear plate disk with frits, confetti and stringers to achieve the pattern and colors of your choice. Terminology: Frits (crushed glass), Confetti (thin chips of glass), Stringers (thin rods of glass).
2.	1st Firing: The decorated disk is then fused by firing it in a kiln to approximately 1400 degrees.
3.	2nd Firing: The fused disk is slumped in a plate mold to achieve a plate shape. The disk is placed on a mold and fired again to approximately 1200 degrees.
4.	A fused glass plate - ready to be used and admired!
