Every new glass technique starts with trial and error.
The above project is my first attempt at weaving glass.
The Woven Glass Project
It started with cutting blue and green strips and fusing the strips over six ceramic bars measuring 3/8" wide by 6" long. The blue and green strips were placed on the kiln shelf over the ceramic bars, 1/4" apart, being careful to keep the end's overhang the same for all strips.
Next, I cut a clear back plate and then placed the fused blue and green strips on the plate, flipping every other strip to create channels. For contrast, I cut white strips and orange stringers and wove with the blue and green strips.
Two additional rounds of fusing included a tack fuse of the plate and glass weave and a slump fuse of the slab to create the swoop dish.
The Plaid-Style Project
The plaid-style plate consists of 3 layers of glass and 22 strips of blue, green transparent, and opaque yellow glass. The base is made of clear glass and the two layers are stacked on top of the base.
I love the results, the transparency and the colors.
