Fused Glass
I personally make all the jewelry,
except for some glass pieces
made by fellow Madison Artist,
and partner, Brad Klosno. We
have been working on fused
glass for about a year now.
There are so many different
ways to use the fused glass.
Fused Glass is made by
stacking two or more layers of
glass together. It is then put in
the kiln and heated until the
layers are fused together.

We make a large variety
of pendants, also dishes
such as plates and bowls.
It is very exciting to work
with the Dichroic glass,
adding just a little bit to a
piece adds so much
sparkle and magic. Soon
we will be making cuff
style bracelets and wind
chimes for the spring
season.

Nancy Geddes first discovered
the characteristics of dichroic
glass while working as an
aerospace engineer on a "Star
Wars" program. Dichroic glass
was utilized by the aerospace
industry for use in heat
seeking missiles and is now
available to the public for use
an as art medium. Each piece
of dichroic glass has 3 distinct
colors:
(1) transmitted light through
the glass
(2) refracted light through the
glass at a 45 degree angle
(3) reflected light from the
glass.
This phenomenon is the result
of the disposition of a thin
layer coating the surface of
the glass consisting of
non-conducting metal oxides
such as titanium. The resulting
luminescence, illusion, depth
and spectacular color are
seen in the fused glass.
