art glass, dichroic glass

We made this cabochon in our home studio near Dallas, Texas where we use high-quality art glass and dichroic glass to create mini works of handmade art.

We cut and shape our cabs by hand and fuse them in a kiln at over 1400° F. Immediately following the fusing stage, the cabs remain inside the kiln for 6 to 8 hours to cool gradually (or anneal). This is a critical step in the fusing process as it prevents cracking and strengthens the glass.

Please be aware that sometimes small bubbles form in our cabs as the layers of glass fuse together. This is a common occurrence in glass fusing. Happily, these bubbles usually add visual interest to the finished piece.
