Many different sizes, shapes, and patterns of compatible Dichroic glass are cut and stacked into unique designs and then fired in the kiln.  A maximum of three layers can be fused on this first firing.  After that, only one layer can be added before firing again.  Our pieces generally incorporate 5-8 layers of glass.  Finally, once we are satisfied with the piece we have created, we add a layer of clear glass to the top of the design.  During the fusing process, the glass melts together and takes on a whole new character as the colors and patterns blend together into a one-of-a-kind creation.  After the fusing process is completed, the piece is cold worked and shaped with saws and grinders.  The piece is then fire-polished in the kiln.  If desired, a multi-layer enamel decal can be applied to the top of the piece and then fired to become a permanent layer within the design.
