Quick Tip: Circles from Squares—Decals L195

Laser-printable decal paper lets you transfer your favorite images to glass. Use the easy application technique shown here and you’ll be ready to make your mark!

Functional Forms from Frit L151

In this project-based lesson, we create a sumptuous slumped bowl and lid using frit as our only glass.

In this lesson, you'll learn about firing to different tack fuse temperatures, firing schedule considerations, and effective annealing.

Tips for Tack Fusing L129

In this lesson, you'll learn the effects of firing to different tack fuse temperatures. We'll also cover firing schedule considerations to avoid thermal shock and promote effective annealing.

Fusing Basics L007

New to glass fusing? Ready to begin your glass fusing education? Good news, you've come to the right place.

In this lesson, you'll learn about the basic features of drop-out molds, the kinds of pieces you can create with them, how viscosity affects the slump.

Working with Drop-Out Molds L084

In this lesson, you'll learn about the basic features of drop-out molds and the kinds of pieces you can create with them. You’ll also learn how viscosity and other variables affect glass during the slump.

In this lesson, we make a thick slab of glass for a small tabletop, covering how to calculate glass volume, make containment walls, and fire your piece.

Tabletops L083

In this lesson, we'll use a similar method to "Working Deep", making a thick slab of glass for a small tabletop with a combination of sheet glass and billets for rapid assembly.

This lesson covers the unique visual properties of Opaline sheet glass, the science behind its color, and its effects when layered with other colored glass.

Expanding the Color Palette: Opaline Overlays L057

Opaline sheet glass has great potential to expand the color palette in kilnforming because it has the ability to create new colors with distinct properties. Learn more about using Opaline in this lesson.

This lesson combines 21 sheet glass styles to demonstrate how many custom colors you can make by combining hues from Bullseye's palette.

Expanding the Color Palette: Composite Colors L056

In this lesson, learn to create a broad array of hues for use in kiln-glass projects by firing two different colors of sheet glass together.

This lesson demonstrates how to create individual design layers, how to control bubbles and minimize coldworking, and how to fire and finish the work.

Working Deep L053

In this lesson you will learn how to create individual design layers, lay up a block to control bubbles and minimize coldworking, and considerations for damming, firing, and finishing the work.

In this lesson, learn some of the ways that harnessing glass flow can help you achieve spectacular effects with your glass.

Harnessing Flow in Kiln-Glass L048

In this lesson you will learn how glass flow can be controlled to spectacular effect.
