What is fused, kilnformed or warm glass?

Fused glass or “warm” glass are objects or designs that are cut from compatible coefficient glass and pieced together much like you would do with a puzzle or in traditional stained glass. The difference is that the end goal is take the glass to a high enough temperature for it all to fuse (melt) into one cohesive object. For the purposes of my work I will often incorporate fused glass pieces into stained glass windows giving them a one of a kind look and a technique not used by other glass artists. I learned this technique as I stated on another page from Steph Brady at Greencat studios in Salida, CO. She deserves the credit for enhancing my interest in this process and encouraging me to create projects of my own. More about this process as we get up and going!
