Description: Fused-glass means the process of shaping glass of hot glass. The result from the layering of glass fused pieces of different sizes and their heating at temperatures between 600-1000 degrees, as the temperatures in the layers soften and blend together, resulting in a final product whole, unique look.This technique of fusing glass can be used to manufacture a wide range of products and ornaments such as rings, pendants, earrings, decorating shop windows of stores, the glazing of furniture, dishes, paintings, etc. merged. Here are some examples of objects made from fused glass:
The process is accessible to anyone and tools are necessary to achieve: glass cutter (diamond), rulers, different models of glass of different thicknesses, colors and sizes and mini oven heating. Mini ovens of this type are found in ads, somewhere around the amount of 1000 Euros. In choosing this glass fusing kiln it will be able to take care of temperatures up to 1000 degrees.
Here is one embodiment, with the specification that the process relies more on your imagination hat on anything else:

Pros: - easy to do business at home
- Depending on the dexterity and selected models, an investment in a heating oven can pay off quickly
- you can make a wide range of products
- The process is simple, but many experiments are necessary before a product reaches higher commercial aspects.
