This is the 1st of three sections of a commissioned piece for a chiropractor needing additional separation between two exam areas.</p>
<p>When the three are complete, the total length will be approximately seven feet and 24&#8243; at the tallest point.<br />
This pic was taken of the fused piece while still inside the kiln. Although it&#8217;s a good sized kiln, I had to make some small adjustments to the design to be sure it fit!<br />
In a later post, I&#8217;ll add some detail about the design.  ENJOY! (I do!)</p>

This is the 1st of three sections of a commissioned piece for a chiropractor needing additional separation between two exam areas.</p>
<p>When the three are complete, the total length will be approximately seven feet and 24&#8243; at the tallest point.<br />
This pic was taken of the fused piece while still inside the kiln. Although it&#8217;s a good sized kiln, I had to make some small adjustments to the design to be sure it fit!<br />
In a later post, I&#8217;ll add some detail about the design.  ENJOY! (I do!)</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s how.</p>
<p>1.  Using my torch (oxy + propane), I use Bullseye color glass rods to create the shapes (&#8221;elements&#8221;).</p>
<p>2.  All the elements are annealed to ensure no fractures ruin my fun.</p>
<p>3.  Elements are arranged on top of a 6mm cut square of clear glass and fused in a kiln.</p>
<p>4.  While awaiting the progeny of the elements/clear glass union, I cut the 4 triangular glass pieces - hopeful that I&#8217;ve measured enough times before cutting to yield a good fit.</p>
<p>5.  The elements+clear glass fused piece is placed in the middle of the 4 corners and another piece of clear glass is cut to overlay the entire piece.</p>
<p>6.  The assembled work is placed in the kiln to be fired (fused together).</p>
<p>Yeah! The cuts worked great! Now for creating the nice plate shape instead of just having a nice flat piece. Let&#8217;s see&#8230;among my MANY molds awaits the perfect plate mold for this project. Yes, here it is.</p>
<p>7.  Place the fused, flat almost-plate on the concave mold and move both to the kiln. We only want it to slump to fit the shape of the mold,  so we program the controller for a slump&#8230;and AWAY WE GO!</p>
<p>After a good long cool to room temperature,  we can inspect and clean our new plate.</p>
<p>See what I mean? This is incredible fun.</p>
<p>I hope you paid close attention. <span style="font-style: italic">There may be</span><span style="font-style: italic"> a quiz!</span></p>
