Glass: Painting with frits; fusing 1

Process & Production

2 plates of 4mm float glass were used. In this sample several techniques were use. Painting with frits; fusing, slumping and after sandblasting.

0055 G0- Optul was mix with silkscreen oil on a glass palette. After it was applied on the glass surface with different spatulas, as a painting. It was place with ceramic paper on the bottom (the paper must be fired first on a temperature that is 10ºC higher and the temperature used for the glass sample. In this case it was 810ºC). The final temperature was 800ºC. Fusing and slumping were done in one time. The slumping was made using the ceramic paper

Next set was to put a resist foil on the glass surface to sandblast. It was sandblasted 3 times to be able to get 3 different depths.

This samples was made to get a result of it would be the final piece.
