What is Fused Glass?

Fused glass is a term used to describe glass that has been fired in a kiln at a range of high temperatures from 1100ºF to 1500ºF. There are 3 main distinctions for temperature application and the resulting effect on the glass.Firing in the lower ranges of these temperatures 1100º 1250º F is called slumping. Firing in the middle ranges of these temperatures 1250º-1350ºF is considered “tack fusing”.

 

Firing the glass at the higher spectrum of this range 1350º-1500ºF is a “full fuse”.

 

All of these techniques can be applied to one glass work (such as decorative glass platters) in separate firings to add depth, relief and shape.
