A Twisted Art Glass Fairytale
Events and Contests | Wednesday, January 18, 2012 | Delphi
Once upon a time in a land far, far away…
Goldilocks grew up to become a glass artist. She heard tales of amazing works of art - fused and formed in magical kilns, and she decided she must try it. So she set out to find her very own kiln. Now, we all know that Goldilocks was particular. She didn’t want a kiln that was too big for her cottage, and she didn’t want one too small for her creative aspirations.

Fusing Tips Comment
by Vitek on Friday, February 3, 2012
I recently fired some glass in my Jen Ken kiln and for the first time I am getting 1/2" bubbles in various areas of the pieces. I used 2 layers of glass, some with clear on top and some with clear on the bottom. I've adjusted the firing schedule to 300 to 1000F - hold .30 - 300 to 1450F - hold .10 - full to 960F - hold 1.30. Still getting bubbles. Never had this before - any suggestions to avoid these?
Also, is there a way to save these pieces? I have pierced the bubbles - can I cover the glass with a layer of clear frit (medium) and refire?
