Process & Production

Glass cut for the fusing sample…using a variety of colours using bullseye fusing glass sheets. The pattern to cut was printed onto paper and the shapes within the pattern were cut to create the templates to cut from for the fusing sample.

The cuts were created on the glass by scoring the cut line with a glass cutter and then snapping the pieces apart with the fingers or with the aid of breaking pliers.
