Off to The Glass Craft and Bead Expo

Off to The Glass Craft and Bead Expo

For the first time in 15 year, we won’t be teaching at the trade show.  Since we can’t clone us we decided to work at the Wissmach Booth instead. We have planned several Demonstrations through out the Exhibition as well as an on stage Demo/Lecture.  Stop by at the Wissmach booth – you can’t miss it, it is right across from the entrance.

Reverse Fusing with Kaiser-Lee Board and Papyrus Paper as a Design Element
Is Ideal to Bring Out the Beautiful Shine of Wissmach Luminescent Glass!

Reverse Kaiser Lee Board Mold

Above you see a 2” x 10” x 10” piece of Kaiser-Lee Board that I carved to create reversed fusing mold. It is ideal to bring out the beauty of  Wissmach Luminescent coated Glass!

Papyrus Paper Design

Here I cut 1/2” wide strips of Papyrus Paper, 10 “ long and glued 3 strips together to make them a bit thicker. Then I wove them together as shown in the pictures. Yes, I made sure that they were not perfect.

Luminescent Plate

The glass I chose is a Wissmach Luminescent 96-14 which I decorated with some thin vitrigraph stringers. Now all I had to do is to place it luminescent side down on the mold set up and fire and fuse it in one firing.

Having fun with Multi Pens

Multi Pens are a form of glass enamel that we have added to our line of products, since they are easy to work with and fire absolutely shiny. 

This dragon was painted on very patiently with a fine brush and then fired into the Wissmach luminescent 90-07 Light Grey transparent at only 1410°F (765°C) for 10 minutes.
