Creating a cottage garden scene in fused glass - in depth step by step

[@FiredGlass]

This is a biggie! Future projects will be filmed across multiple videos rather than all in one video. You can use the Chapter option in the Description, or play head to jump backwards and forwards if you want to.

[@lauramay5361]

Absolutely amazing! Thank you for this video. I really wanted to know how this look was achieved and I finally came across your video. I didn't realise how much hard work went into making them. Beautiful.

[@FiredGlass]

You are so welcome!

[@JusTim2024]

You ARE the Bob Ross of fused glass, or perhaps the Bobbie Ross. I AM glad that you didn't "beat the devil out of it," as he would have said. 🙂 Thank you for this wonderful video--I learned a lot. Best wishes!

Wow, thank you!

So informative! Thank you for the heads up on making glass beads. I needed some for alien eyes!

[@FiredGlass]

Glad it was useful, we have done a video on making glass beads in case you've not seen it. Thanks for watching.

So many little tricks you taught us! Thank you!

[@FiredGlass]

Sharing is caring.

[@60Airflyte]

Absolutely stunning work. I really want to learn how to do this. Hopefully, I can find a class nearby.

[@FiredGlass]

I hope so too!

You are a wonderful teacher and your cottage garden is delightful. I will be watching more of your videos and using your techniques to improve my glass work. Thank you!

Thank you for watching Robert and your kind words. Plenty of new content in the pipeline.

Thank you found it at the site you recommended in the US. Ordered it already.

[@FiredGlass]

Great to hear. Enjoy using it as it does make applying powder very easy and controllable.

[@judywall7528]

Wow. I am so pleased I discovered your video. I have been looking for ways to use my coe90 scrap. Very much enjoyed your teaching style, details, as well as your organizing tips.

[@FiredGlass]

Thank you Judy, great to hear. If you've not seen our Making Dots video that's also a great way to use up your scrap COE90 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qoC4gImGbJx6gLs

[@ilenejamison5449]

What a great idea for the sample colors!! BTW, you are delightful and love your videos!

[@FiredGlass]

Thank you for watching, glad to hear you like our videos and style. The samples are a great idea, especially if you have students on courses as it makes it so much easier for them to see the final output colour.

Brilliant tuition. Thanku. Can you please tell me the thickness of glass you are using and where to purchase power pro (wglass) don’t have it. Many thanks Susan

[@FiredGlass]

Hi Susan, thank you for watching. A complete list of material used, codes, thickness etc are in the description below the video, along with the time stamps for each section. The P3 is also listed there too.

[@LisaColesUK]

Hi would this slumping schedule work for a 3mm thick bullseye bowl too ? Many thanks

[@FiredGlass]

It should work okay yes. Best to check based on the type of mould you will be using as that can influence the schedule. warmglass-tf-prod.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/media/wysiwyg/Tips_for_Using_Bullseye_Slumping_Moulds.pdf

[@teresaduncan1010]

Where can I order the spring glass sifter you showed in the flamingos video please? Not the power Pro, but the one that has the spring that slides along the handle. Thank you. Love your calm teaching style.

[@FiredGlass]

Hi Teresa I've just replied where you asked the question on the other video. So please excuse the copy and paste. You can get them from Warmglass in the UK. I don't know where in the world you are, so that mayn't help as Warmglass only ship within the UK. The item is called a coil actuator fine mesh sifter over here in the UK. I you are USA based then search for JC Line & Dot Sifter with Coil Actuator

[@tstripling5611]

what would be your suggested firing schedule if you wanted to keep textures, slumped over a bowl? thank you, T 4/2022

[@FiredGlass]

First you need to consider the thickness of the piece. You can use a standard slumping schedule but I would suggest ramping up slowly, increasing annealing time depending on the thickness and unevenness of the piece and possibly reducing the rate of cooling. In the past I have used the basic slump and reduced the ramp rate in seg 1 to 111ºC. Also increased the annealing hold at the end of Seg 2 depending on the thickness. To work that out see the Annealing & cooling table in bottom right of firing schedule. The ramp down is already quite slow at 56ºC so unless your piece is really thick, this should be ok We use these firing schedules. warm-glass.co.uk/kiln-schedules-cms-74

[@deirdremcadams7766]

I am so interested in how very organized everything is. Love all of your containers!

[@FiredGlass]

Jill does like to keep things organised. Makes finding things much easier. Also when we run courses it's easier and quicker to keep on top of things. Thanks for watching.

[@1wanderingbob]

What thickness of Tekna glass are you using? Nice work

[@FiredGlass]

Thanks for watching Bob. A full description of all materials used is in the description below the video. The Tekta is 3mm.

[@donnambrown7305]

I'm really enjoying your videos and your teaching style. Your samplers are very creative! I am just learning glass fusing, colors, cutting--everything. I would like to try making some color samplers somewhat like yours. May I ask what thickness of glass you used for your 2" color samplers and how did you apply the little handle which is fused to the top for hanging them on the cord? You're so clever!

[@FiredGlass]

Thank you. Jewellery bailes are used for hangers, simply glue those on after firing. Typically use 3mm glass.

[@donnabrown2962]

@@FiredGlass awesome! I didn’t know if the jewelry bales were strong enough. It looked like fused glass or rod. I’m so excited to do this so I can see the colors!

[@blackcatstudio4506]

Gosh I wish you would do MWK videos this was great but overwhelming for a beginner with barely any supplies hahah

[@FiredGlass]

What are MWK videos?

[@blackcatstudio4506]

@@FiredGlass microwave kiln videos hahahah for us poor people that only have small wee mini kilns ... I'm a total noob to glass

[@FiredGlass]

We started with microwave kilns but no longer use them or have any in the studio. There’s facebook groups on microwave kilns which are worth joining for information and learning.

[@gailkops5644]

Really love this project! Do you put those usually in front of tee lights or votives? Coolsville!

[@FiredGlass]

Thank you. We normally suggest LED battery operated tea lights / candles. Minimises risk around naked flames.

This was wonderful! Thank you for sharing your expertise. May I ask what the name of that little square scoop spatula with the tweezers is? I'd love to find me a couple of pair.

Sorry, I did not see a list of materials provided. Can you update, possibly?

Diane, the list of materials is in the description under the video.

[@dianeseverns2382]

All your supplies are amazing. Did you make the murini or did you buy all that. You must have a million dollars in murrini. So fun. Im green with jealousy. LOL

[@FiredGlass]

HI Diane, we started off purchasing murini and stringers, but then decided to get a vitrigraph kiln and make our own. Takes quite a while to do and build up the knowledge and techniques, but at least you can always have stock.

[@dianeseverns2382]

@@FiredGlass amazing. I just bought a vitro kiln but now need to learn how to use it other thuan making just plain old vitrigraph. Do you have videos on that

[@FiredGlass]

@@dianeseverns2382 ah cool having your own kiln is ideal. We don't do videos on vitrigraph use and pot preparation. Check out Nathan Sandberg for murrine creation.
