Fusing glass is a very exciting method of changing and enhancing glass work. Originating in ancient Egypt and Rome, fusing and laminating glass has seen a revival recently where it is used in a variety of architectural and decorative applications including doors, windows, ceilings, walls, floors, dividers, furniture and tables . Glass fusing involves the lamination of two or more surfaces or materials under extreme heat to form one homogenous surface when cooled. Artistic Glass has the experience and skill to employ this unique technique in whatever design or decorating project you may have.

This pre-design rendition of a door depicts the face of a client's only daughter. Cast in crystal glass, the substrate is then fused to 19mm (3/4") clear glass. Surrounding the stylized face, radiant triangular and pyramidal shaped crystal rays are then fused into the work.

These breathtaking frosted doors are studded with sparkling faceted jewels fused to the exterior of the door. The imported jewels are highly polished crystal, catching the light from all directions. Fused to the surface of the doors in a series of glittering rings, each jewel is surrounded by a tiny clear circle. (...more)

Fused Glass is a hot new medium in the glass industry. Artistic glass is proud of its accomplishments using this difficult yet exciting technique. It is a carefully controlled process that involves melting layers of glass together. The finished product is unlike any other style of glasswork resulting in an incredible interplay of colours. Here, this process is used to create glass tables 5' x 2' (170cm x 60cm) and 2' (60cm) in height.
