Fusing
and Laminating
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.

Glass has the experience and skill to employ this unique
technique in whatever design or decorating project you may have.

into the work. |

of the doors in a series of glittering rings, each jewel is surrounded by a
tiny clear circle.
