Bio

I've been doing fused glass for several years now, but my career in fusing started at five years old! I melted mardi gras beads in my easy-bake oven to create beautiful "fused" suncatchers. My specialty is geometric designs, and fused glass jewelry, and I love incorporating subtle iridescent touches in my pieces. I am also a metalsmith and art jeweler, so the pieces on my website feature my fused glass set in precious metals and bezel settings. http://www.katkramer.com

According to Bullseye, they recommend clear capping many of their glass colors in order to make them food safe. Also, I own that book, and I don't know that I trust that book to recommend food safe options. Here's Bullseye's response to that question, and it recommends clear capping. http://www.bullseyeglass.com/is-bullseye-glass-food-safe.html

Quick and easy, complements by bigger kilns, November 9, 2009 5 stars
Pros
Small and quick to fire, uses much less electricity and takes very little time. Perfect for a dorm or apartment. Useful for someone not wanting to spend a lot to get started doing fusing.		 Cons
Small size, but this is also an advantage.		 Other Thoughts
I bought this awhile back, and it sat in a closet for a few months. I've got a large Jen Ken kiln and a smaller 9" kiln that I use for bead annealing and smaller fusing. I've used the 9" kiln for making nuggets and jewelry, but sometimes I just want to test some glass reactions, or fuse some coarse frit to make nuggets or pieces of small jewelry. This is PERFECT for making nuggets...I can fuse coarse frit in 3 minutes, and within about 8 minutes it's ready to use. Previously I used the 9" to do the same thing, and it took about 2 hours. This is a time-saver and a conveniently portable little kiln. I'm taking it to my parent's RV rally in a few weeks to make custom jewelry pieces for rally attendees.
