I always have an over abundance of tempered glass chunks in my shop. I'm not sure why, but it does seem to pile up very
quickly! You can use the pieces for lots of different things, but they look especially nice in a tack fuse, they polish up so nicely. I use stainless steel ribbon to make custom molds for just this occasion.
Here's a tutorial about how to make stainless steel ribbon molds with 2 different types of expansion joints and a link to my tack fuse schedule. These molds can be used for a number of things, with all types of glass. Don't forget to line them with fiber or shelf paper though, the glass will stick to the steel!

Upcoming classes:
Still have a couple of spaces for this class in January!
January 17-February 9, Tuesday evening 6:30 - 9
Intro to Fusing Class - Tuesdays
The Thursday class has just one spot left, so I have opened up a Tuesday session! If you needed a different day of the week, or
were on the fence, this one is for you.
Beginning fusing class. This class is great fun, 2 weeks with recycled glass and 2 weeks with fusible art
glass, so no matter what path your glass journey takes, you have a solid foundation in glass theory and knowledge.
Animals of the Arctic - on CuriousMondo.com - December 13-15, 9 a.m. - 12 p.m.
Learn to fuse animals that inhabit the far north. These are all new designs. While this class will have the usual ridiculous number of projects, we will also spend considerable time on how to translate a
glass idea into a glass reality. Free to watch the live broadcast.
