Who doesn't love shiny things? I think that's part of why I love glass so much (and silversmithing, and lapidary, and faceting) I'm really just a big old crow at heart. When you start combining the shiny things, the magic really starts to happen! Today's tutorial shows a fused glass project with copper sheet and wire fused into the glass before slumping.

I love this piece so much, it's one I kept, still on my studio wall. You can have a look when you stop by, it's a great example of glass and copper fusing.

Want to try fusing copper with glass? For a limited time I'm including a packet of Copper Ribbon with every order. No coupon code necessary, just place your order and the copper will be in your box. While supplies last (I have about 30 sets).

Don't forget about Open Studio if you are in the SLC area, we are going to have so much fun!

Fusing with Copper Sheet and Wire

When you are fusing with recycled glass and metal, don’t forget that you can mix metals, both types of metal and different forms of the same metal. Here is a walk through of a recent project that I did using copper sheet and copper wire. This is also a great example about how to use glass with hard water deposits.
