Embossed Horse

This is a 9"x9" stained glass panel. The center piece is an antique blue glass that was embossed during a fusing class at the Glass Craft Expo in April. The embossing is done by cutting a stencil out of fiber board, then placing the glass piece over the stencil and heating it in the kiln to slumping temperature. This technique works with stained glass as well as fusable glass. A rose border with opaque and glue chip glass was added to frame the embossed horse.

During the Glass Expo, I bought a Skutt kiln at a discounted rate, and drove it home to avoid the shipping expense. I hope to make more pieces like this once I upgrade our wiring to accommodate the kiln.
