A fused glass artist is an expert in manipulating sheets of glass into fine art. I’m sure you are aware that working with glass can be very difficult to do it breaking easily. In order to fuse glass, it must be melted together in a temperature controlled kiln. If the temperature rises or falls too quickly the glass will either break or end up with bubbles inside of it that will ruin the piece. For creating things like bowls and plates, a mold is used to control where the glass goes and the shape that it end up in. Creating jewelry and pendants is much trickier since a custom mold must be made for the shape that you want to create the piece in. Either way, a glass artist does amazing things with glass.
