At GlassArt Design, we’re passionate about the transformative power of glass. One of our favorite techniques, glass fusing, allows us to create stunning, vibrant pieces that capture light and color in unique ways. Today, we’re taking you behind the scenes to explore the fascinating process of how we craft these beautiful works of art.
What is Glass Fusing?
Glass fusing is the process of joining multiple pieces of glass together by heating them in a kiln. Unlike traditional stained glass, which relies on lead came to hold pieces together, fused glass creates a seamless, cohesive piece. The heat causes the glass to melt and bond, resulting in a smooth, unified surface.
Expanding the Fusion: Gemma Glass Countertops
The versatility of fused glass extends beyond decorative art pieces. At GlassArt Design, we’ve harnessed the power of fusion to create Gemma Glass Countertops, a stunning and sustainable surface solution.
- Luxury and Durability: Gemma Glass Countertops embody the perfect blend of elegance and resilience. Made from remnant glass material, typically cut from tempered glass sheets, this unique product offers a luxurious aesthetic with exceptional durability.
- Eco-Friendly and Customizable: We take pride in our environmentally conscious approach. Gemma Glass is created by melting down glass cut-offs from our shop and fusing them with vibrant colored glass frit. This process not only reduces waste but also allows for unparalleled customization. Gemma Glass can be created in any color or finish, allowing you to create a truly one-of-a-kind surface.
- Versatile Applications: Gemma Glass is not limited to countertops. Its versatility makes it ideal for a variety of interior design and architectural projects, including backsplashes, tabletops, and even custom art installations.
- Crafted in Minneapolis: All Gemma Glass Countertops are meticulously crafted at our studio in the North Loop of Minneapolis, ensuring the highest quality and attention to detail.
By incorporating Gemma Glass into our fused glass offerings, we’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with this captivating art form. We are proud to offer a product that is both beautiful and sustainable.
The Magic of Fused Glass
What makes fused glass so captivating is the interplay of light and color. The layers of glass create depth and dimension, while the vibrant hues seem to change with the angle of the light. Each piece is unique, a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship involved.
