Making Fused Glass Globs

Begin by cutting strips of fusible glass:




You can use mosaic nippers to cut some strips into single layer squares for smaller globs.


Stack other squares into two and three layer stacks and place on a prepped kiln shelf.


Fire the glass squares up to 1500 degrees Fahrenheit and hold for 8-10 minutes.
In a small kiln (like my Caldera), I go AFAP (as fast as possible) to 1500 and hold for 10 minutes, then the next segment of the firing schedule is off. The kiln holds enough heat, and they are small enough that I'm not worried about thermal shock. Plus, I'll be firing these again in a larger project. They'll really anneal in that piece.
