Glass 101 – Fusing and Slumping
The colors and dimensions of glass forming make it a thrilling and exciting medium for any artist who is willing to explore it as a creative media. There are many safety issues, and learning from a professional glass expert is always a good idea, but there are texts and guidance references that can help you understand the principles and procedures of glass forming. With a little understanding of the concepts, glass is a very achievable goal, even for the urban artist. Since glass does not melt or harden at a single temperature, but instead gradually softens and hardens as the temperatures change, it is best to take it slow and easy in your initial exposure to glass creating.
Probably the most expedient and fast track of all glass-forming methods is glass fusing. It is a method of forming in which glasses of similar melting temperatures are warmed slowly to a degree that will accommodate slight melting. This temperature is around 1400 to 1500 degrees F. Temperatures lower than 1400 are insufficient to fuse the glass together, and total bonding may not occur. Glass choice is a vital issue in this equation.
Not all glass will melt or fuse at the same temperature. There are several grades of glass, and working within similar melting ranges will insure a higher degree of success. Many artists want to use scrap window glass to practice fusing and slumping (actual forming of shapes with molds achieved when the glass is hot enough to be malleable.) Glass composition is the issue in even, thorough melting. Although composed mainly of silica, glass has other components that change the melting range. Use of glass specific to the purpose intended is the best way to insure success. All glass manufacturers are able to give you melting/firing ranges along with color and shape selections through catalog information or Internet.
The shapes of glass you decide to use in your work might include sheets cut to shape, pre-formed shapes created by the manufacturer, rods or crumbles. Each has a proper application. Sheets and pre-formed shapes are great as the basis for designs. Rods and crumbles (broken scraps you can also create yourself, thereby eliminating nearly all waste) add topical color and texture to your shapes. Also available is diachronic glass, metallic surfaces that shimmer and have the look of gold, silver and other metallic jewel tones.

Special fusing kilns, small and affordable, are available from several manufacturers and can be safely operated within the confines of a home or apartment (with proper safety considerations). This makes glass fusion and small slumping work possible for almost anyone interested.
So if you are ready for a “hot” artistic media, consider glasswork. The result–colors, designs and appeal–of the work you do will be its own reward.

“Our work is the result of considerable glass technique research that we carry out together, creating a rainbow of colors that reflect our love of the art and of each other.”
“Hello, we are Debora and Marco and we met while doing research on glass. Debora is from Argentina. After finishing a degree in art, she decided to widen her horizons and that road brought her to Mexico where we met each other,” says jewelry artisan Marco.
“I studied veterinary medicine. After several successful professional activities that benefited society with practice and technical knowledge, I was attracted to art. So we both began researching the art of glass, both with the same restlessness and both destined to join forces as we dominated the technique of dichroic glass.” Dichroic glass is an ultra-thin coating of metal oxides and quartz, grown as a crystal structure on the surface using a highly technical vacuum deposition process. Originally produced for the aerospace industry, it now provides a medium for Debora and Marco’s fused glass jewelry.
“First we began making sculptures and panels with this material,” Debora continues, “and through a lot of investigating and testing, the idea was born of making a line of jewelry that was different and full of light. At the beginning, as with everything, it was very difficult for us. Our economic situation was no help either. We made a number of pieces to see if it might be feasible. We took them to Taxco where the greatest concentration of jewelers is and we presented our project. It was very well received and this gave us the freedom of being able to continue experimenting and playing with light to create new designs and colors. With time, we set up a small jewelry workshop to craft our own designs.
“Dichroic glass is somewhat of a misnomer, since the dielectric coating that produces all the interesting colors is not glass at all, but very thin layers of metal oxides. These thin layers have a total thickness of 3 to 5 millionths of an inch. These materials produce an ‘interference filter’ that creates the varied and unique color characteristics that we see. Since the total thickness is so minute, the filter has very little mechanical integrity of its own and must be supported on a mechanically stable base. Glass is the ideal material for this base. It is transparent, adequately rigid, is stable, withstands relatively high temperatures and is not affected by moisture, solvents or most acids. The materials producing the filter are actually more chemically stable than most glasses used as the substrate. The filter is generally as durable as the substrate it is on. Thus, what we commonly call dichroic glass is actually a dielectric interference filter attached to the surface of a piece of glass.
“Currently, we have worked as consultants with people who are interested in our glass work. We have an infinite variety of colors and light reflections in our designs, depending on the angle at which you look at them. Thus they are unique pieces, each one set in silver to draw more attention to the color.

Mark McGinnis here and this (Avenstar) video was super fun to shoot near Lyons Colorado. There’s few things as rewarding in photography (and videography) as capturing great light and color. Robin G. is an incredible fine artist with an eye for bringing the right combination of glass elements together to produce wonderful art you can pick up and admire up close. Much of what she creates is actually functional – like rainbow colored mirrors, plates and full sets of dinner wear, multi-colored glass windows and window hangings… as you can see in this video everything she creates is breathtaking. Kim McGinnis played host again for this shoot and her and Robin G. really hit it off – they worked great together. Robin’s art can be found at www.aZenGift.com or commissioned from Avenstar.
This video was shot with two HD cameras the Sony EX1 and a Canon Vixia. Everything was shot at high-def 1080i and we edited this video using Final Cut Pro.
