Glass Art Designer

Kiln-formed glass is glass that is formed (shaped) in a kiln by fusing, slumping, draping, casting, etc.. I work with sheets and rods of glass , crushed and powdered glass and glass paints. After deciding on my project, I cut the glass and arrange the pieces into my design, then it's off to the kiln. Some pieces require multiple firings, up to 1600 degrees. Most pieces aren't complete without a bit of cold-working, using grinders, saws, sandblasters, etc, to get that finished look.
