Glass Panel Size:  8 x 4 in
Glass Panel Process: Glass Panel: Designs such as this one are created by using different types of colored glass including hand cut pieces from larger sheets as well as glass powders, stingers (slender glass rods) and frit (small glass bits). These different materials are arranged onto a double base layer of glass and the layered piece is melted together in a kiln. Reaching the finished piece usually requires multiple firings at different temperatures and during the firing process many colors of glass "strike" to a new color and/or intensity. When finished, color intensity also changes as different degrees of light filters through the glass.
