The fourth-sixth graders made these glass fused pendants. We are gluing the "bails" on the back to make necklaces. The kids are going to give these as holiday gifts to a family member or friend. They each made two pendants.
This is the first time I have done fused glass with kids. I used the how-to guides from the System 96 website and ordered the glass from Delphi glass.
Have you done fused glass in your kiln before? If so, I have some questions to ask you and maybe you can help me troubleshoot a bit. Let me know and we can connect!
Some of the pendants turned out wonderfully (as I expected) and some of them did not seem to melt evenly. They are still beautiful and the kids are proud of their work, but I am wondering if anyone has any insights.

Yes I have done glass art! Last year I bought a small Skutt Hot Start Glass Kiln and I also have two microwave kilns. I've done a few posts on my blog about fusing and slumping glass: http://www.artroom104.blogspot.com/search/label/glass%20kiln.
ReplyDeleteI'm not an expert by far, but maybe I can answer your questions...Did you use your ceramic kiln or do you have a kiln specifically for glass?
