Glass Frit or Kiln Casting is not exactly new, but is very similar to the pate de verre technique which has been around for thousands of years.
What is new is the development of ceramic casting moulds by Colour de Verre. These moulds enable the creation of glass art in ways that were either difficult to achieve (for example, using one-off moulds) or unavailable to the average glass artisan.
Coloured photographs and instructions are given for a range of projects including:
- butterflies and dragonflies;
- a summer floral bowl;
- a snowflake plate and goblet;
- a square charger plate;
- billet casting; and
- kiln formed bracelets and pendants.
