Get fired up for advanced design techniques that invigorate your artistic spirit. You’ve loved making all the simple projects. Now experience the thrill of breaking away from familiar shapes to create striking free form fused glass designs.
The fastest and easiest way to make free form project profiles is to reinvent the square, rectangle, and circle. Start simple with the basic shapes and add your own twist. Put notches in a square, put curves in the straight edges of a rectangle, give your circle a free form shape. Using exciting new shapes will elevate your fused glass from functional to fine art.
Take it a step farther and get creative combining slumping molds to make one-of-a-kind bowls and vases. Design your projects with these concepts in mind and you’ll immediately see an increase in the visual intricacy of your artwork. The possibilities are endless.
A Winning Combination
Combine different unique shapes and your work will go from ordinary to extraordinary. Then reshape the fused glass by slumping or draping it on a combination of molds and other kiln furniture. There are no rules. Just make it your own and you’ll come out a winner.
Once you integrate these design concepts into your work, you’ll be amazed how quickly your work rises to a higher level of sophistication. And in the process, thinking in a broader scope will open the door to all new, exciting possibilities.
