Sculpted glass works

This gallery shows a collection of works produced by combining several glass art disciplines.

Most of these works feature fused glass elements (usually the main subject), that have been cut from sheet glass then painted with enamels. Enamel is exceptionally fine ground glass mixed with a binder to form a paint. The piece is then fired in a kiln at around 760 deg C. More delicate elements like flowers and leaves are sculpted in a lamp work torch flame. This is an Oxygen/Propane torch that allows glass to be melted at around 1200 deg C then sculpted into shapes. A base is created by fusing glass in the kiln, then drilled to accept the rest of the pieces.
Will the various components completed, they are assembled into the base to create the whole piece.
