Glass Results

Remember the little bowls I made to sample my new glass colours a couple of weeks ago? It was a super surprise finding these little goodies in the kiln yesterday!

I’m so pleased with the results, the colours of the melted glass are so striking, even better than I thought they would turn out. It seems that the opaque glass melts fine at stoneware temperature.


The different types of glass have melted in different ways – some are smooth while others look crystallised. The effects are perfect for complimenting different designs on my work. I’ll be using the glass to melt on larger scale pieces now that I know it melts ok.


These little samples are very cute, approx just 5cm in diameter. They would make perfect little tea light candle holders, and would also look great displayed together in a group of 3 or 4.


I’ll be putting a few for sale in my online shops over the next few days so keep an eye out! Alternatively if you would like me to reserve any for you, please let me know as they are all one-offs and when they’re gone, they’re gone!

    they look great! Its not something I've ever tried before, I've seen some pictures where pieces of this kind look cracked or crazed in the bottom so thats kinda put me off.
