Fused Glass


The result of the process of layering bits and pieces of glass of multiple shapes, colors and sizes and then firing them in the kiln is called "fused glass". This process can be repeated numerous times until the artist obtains the desired look. Many fused glass artists add dichroic glass into the mix. Dichroic glass appears to shimmer and change color at different angles and can look like foil or leafing inside the glass.

The Etsy shop featured today is Glass House Jewelry a newbie to Etsy, having joined just one month ago. A NY artist, this shopowner has been designing glass and jewelry for museums and boutiques. Etsy is her first experience in selling directly to the public.

The items sold at Glass House Jewelry are mostly finished jewelry pieces created by the artist and featuring her fused & dichroic glass cabachons, pendants and beads. She also has some PMC pieces. All items are one of a kind due to the uniqueness of the glass. Prices in the shop are reasonable and "special orders are welcome". It says so right on the front page of this shop.
