Art Glass Design
Fused Glass, How is it Made and What is its Value? by Linda Kinyo
You’re probably familiar with “stained” glass, right? Well, what if you could take multitudes of colors, put them into a design of your own choosing, place your colors where you want them and turn out a beautiful, flowing work of Glass Art without the lead line separators? Would that be a gorgeous work of art or what?
Well, that is pretty much what Fused Glass Art is.
One draws a picture with various pieces of colored glass, fuses the pieces together by melting them in a fused glass kiln and once the piece is completed, it can actually look like a drawing or a painted work of art. Some of these pieces are very beautiful to behold.
This art form is just starting to get hot (no pun intended) and it will probably catch on like wildfire in the near future. It is relatively new at this point and not a “whole lot” of people have taken to it yet, but, just like stained glass, it won’t be too long before this stuff will be everywhere. It is a rage in the making.
So, exactly how does fused glass work? How is it made?
Well, basically, as stated above, one takes two or more pieces of glass, usually in various colors, places them adjacent to each other in some type of mold or cast, then puts these pieces into a kiln and heats them until they melt and the Glass Pieces fuse together to form one piece of glass.
This type of Art Glass is also known as kilnformed glass or Dichroic Glass.
There are several methods one can use to get this effect. One finished piece of dichroic glass may be fused several times in order to get specific effects. Each artist is different. That’s why it’s an art form. Just like a canvas based artist, a lot of experimentation occurs so that the “artist” is able to perfect or specialize in one or more particular methods.
While one artist may specialize in one-time fused designs, another may like to present designs that have been fused numerous times with numerous colors.
The design is limited only by one’s imagination. Fused glass art can be used and appreciated in many ways.
Not just any kiln will work either. Brick or clay (ceramic) kilns are different from kilnformed or fused glass kilns in some ways. Ceramic kilns can be utilized, it’s true but a kilnformed artist usually likes to have a kiln that is used expressly for kilnformed glass projects because the temperature controls, ranges and heating elements are a bit different.
There are a number of businesses who use fused glass art in their signs because it is so beautiful and gives certain eye drawing effects.
Jewelry is also becoming very popular as is fused glass dinnerware and dichroic artists are able to demand some serious prices for their work.
How much is fused glass art worth? Good question. As with any art, it is worth whatever the buyer is willing to pay for it. The more unique the design or the better the quality of work, the more the art is worth.
There are many resources to be found on the web and if you have a knack or even just an interest, you should visit some web sites to find out what’s out there and how you can get into it. Many cities have fused glass artists or fused glass instructions within the city or at least in a neighboring community.

Lost Treasures of Louis Comfort Tiffany $35 The works of the Tiffany Studios revolutionized interior design in turn-of-the-century America. All of the company’s works-from stained-glass windows to blown-glass vases; lamp shades to inkwells-bore the unique stamp of one man, Louis Comfort Tiffany, who created the Tiffany Studios and supervised every aspect of their production. Many of these official studio pieces are well known today-avidly sought by museums and collectors worldwide. Special ones among them, as well as other lesser known pieces-the “lost” works of Louis Tiffany himself-are, in a real sense, the core of his astonishing achievement. They comprise his personal oeuvre-the objects made from his original designs for exhibition, for private commissions, or for use in Tiffany’s own homes. This book reevaluates Tiffany’s art in terms of his personal work-including pieces in all the media that attracted him over the course of his prolific career; stained glass, of course, but also mosaics, blown glass, pottery, jewelry, and enamels. Tiffany’s pioneering efforts in interior design are covered, as are his easel paintings and his dream of creating a permanent residential retreat for working artists. Hugh F. McKean also provides much intimate insight into Tiffany’s personality, his domestic life, his financial dealings, and his unusual philosophy of art. Lavishly illustrated, the book presents a vivid display of Tiffany’s wide-ranging aesthetic. The result is a rare portrait of Tiffany the man-and of the prodigious imagination that almost single-handedly transformed the day-to-day image of a nation and an era. |

I’ve exhibited my work at arts and crafts fairs, and in 1995 took first place in the Concurso Internacional para America Latina y el Caribe, winning the UNESCO Prize. One of my proudest moments was receiving the Vizcardo and Guzman Medal as a master artisan, awarded by the Peruvian Congress in 2002. My dream is for my art to be known and appreciated outside my country.’ What is Worldstock? The handcrafted nature of this product will produce minor differences in design and sizing.

Should bubbles occur, use a small dry paint brush to carefully pop them. Once the glaze starts to set, bubbles are harder to remove. Be patient: Let the glaze dry thoroughly before handling your picture frames. You won?t be sorry. Our Jewel Setter is a great tool to use with this kind of project. You can avoid touching the adhesive and the other end of the tool can be used to pop any stray bubbles. Have fun. Play with lots of different materials in the frames. Phot |

Tips for Picture Perfect TierraCast Frames using Dimensional Art Glazes. Choosing images for your frames: If applying a glaze, use images printed with non water-soluble inks. Images printed with regular ink-jet ink will bleed. Place cropped images in frame with small amount of adhesive and allow to dry. Glaze and adhesive recommendations: Use Diamond Glaze dimensional adhesive or DG3. You can use a little glaze as the initial adhesive to adhere image to frame. Avoiding Bubbles: Before applying glazes/adhesives, squeeze a bit through the tip to release air bubbles from the nozzle. Don?t shake the bottle. Should bubbles occur, use a small dry paint brush to carefully pop them. Once the glaze starts to set, bubbles are harder to remove. Be patient: Let the glaze dry thoroughly before handling your picture frames. You won?t be sorry. Our Jewel Setter is a great tool to use with this kind of project. You can avoid touching the adhesive and the other end of the tool can be used to pop any stray bubbles. Have fun. Play with lots of different materials in the frames. Photos, playing cards, |

Please, read detailed description or call 1-800-807-1826 for more information. Lighting designers have used wrought and cast metals from ancient times. Our Tollin Family is a tribute to both the function and esthetics of art metal, which really took off as a design tool with advances in iron casting methods in the late 18th century. Designers could create structural and decorative elements in a metal that would endure, but at the same time appear light and airy. Tollin is playfully sculptural, minimalist in detail, a product of modern sensibilities but suited to a variety of interior styles. Tollin’s hand-formed steel arms and cast finials have a Byzantine finish, while the Amber accents of the Etruscan glass warm and soften the setting. The Tollin Family also includes a mirror in a striking trapezoidal metal frame with arched topTollin 3lt Dual Mnt – ByzFixture Type: Dual Mount – Pendant / Semi-FlushFamily: TollinFinish: ByzantineBathroom, Bedroom, Breakfast Room, Dining Room, Entry/Foyer, Family Room, Hall, Kitchen, Mudroom, StudyDimensions: W 19.5” x H 12”Number of Lights: 3Lamp Type: 3 – 60W Medium Base (not included) |

Choose your layout from those pictured, and pick a colour from the pallette available. Due to the materials used, and the fact that each piece is hand cut, there will be slight differences between these pictures and the final product. That’s what makes them special!

6269-5-20 – Cyan Design Paxton 5 Lt Chandelier $1431 During the Victorian and Edwardian eras, both in England and in America, the trend in the colder climates of adding a large garden conservatory to a home increased in popularity with the advent of electricity and improved heating systems. Formerly, the conservatory was a great freestanding iron and glass greenhouse found only on the estates of the privileged, but by the late 19th century, plant life had become a desiredand permanent part of the decor of most homes. Characteristic of both, however, was the decorative run-on ironwork inserted between parallel bands of iron structure.

6299-5-34 – Cristal Constantine 5 Lt Nook Chandelier $354.6 At the turn of the 20th century, advances in electric lighting coincided with the Art Nouveau movement. One historian has stated that this happy concurrence resulted in “the single most creative period in the annals of domestic lighting.” Glass shades concealing the glaring filaments of early clear glass bulbs could now be mounted in any upward or downward direction. The Constantine family of luminaries demonstrates that both approaches could be taken with the shade which is supported by arms inspired by curvilinear design characteristics of the “New Art”. The dominant mot if, however, is the cluster of anthemion, a historic Greek and Roman motif that was also used in a vertical or downward direction. The harmonious integration of this ancient motif of stylized honey suckle flowers with the curving linearity of the supporting arms captures the creative spirit exhibited in the design of early 20th century lighting fixtures.<br><br>CONSTANTNE 5LT CHAND-BZB |

99-1-52 – Cristal Donatello Small Mirror $128.7 The Donatello fixtures creatively blend the two aesthetic influences into a compatible, unified whole. An outgrowth of the Arts and Crafts Movement, the Mission Style was characterized by relatively simple, functionalist design. A signature of this style was, and still is the square glass shades. At exactly the same time the Mission Style flourished, so did the Art Nouveau style, immediately identified by the curving tendrils of iron, often integrated with flower and leaf motifs.<br><br>DONATELLO SM MIRROR -AC |

A Modern World $75 Americans living in the first decades of the twentieth century felt they inhabited a modern age. A spirit of excitement and experimentation transformed the world around them, in particular the consumer goods that filled their homes and offices. A Modern World draws upon the renowned collection of American decorative arts at the Yale University Art Gallery to explore the appearance and dissemination of modern design in the United States. This catalogue organizes roughly 300 examples of silver, glass, industrial design, furniture, medals, jewelry, and printed textiles into thematic groups that chart the aesthetic and social trends that defined American design from the Jazz Age to the Space Age. The authors consider modernism broadly–from handmade luxury goods to mass-produced housewares–establishing a context for the objects within larger international developments in architecture, avant-garde art, and scientific innovation. New research and compelling juxtapositions offer an expanded understanding of the era, and designer biographies and corporate chronologies help make this catalogue a valuable resource. |

A Theory Of Craft $39.99 What is craft? How is it different from fine art or design? In A Theory of Craft, Howard Risatti examines these issues by comparing handmade ceramics, glass, metalwork, weaving, and furniture to painting, sculpture, photography, and machine-made design from Bauhaus to the Memphis Group. He describes craft’s unique qualities as functionality combined with an ability to express human values that transcend temporal, spatial, and social boundaries. Modern design today has taken over from craft the making of functional objects of daily use by employing machines to do work once done by hand. Understanding the aesthetic and social implications of this transformation forces us to see craft as well as design and fine art in a new perspective, Risatti argues. Without a way of understanding and valuing craft on its own terms, the field languishes aesthetically, being judged by fine art criteria that automatically deny art status to craft objects. Craft must articulate a role for itself in contemporary society, says Risatti; otherwise it will be absorbed by fine art or design and its singular approach to understanding the world will be lost. A Theory of Craft is a signal contribution to establishing a craft theory that recognizes, defines, and celebrates the unique blend of function and human aesthetic values embodied in the craft object. |
