Through precision manufacturing and careful monitoring, CBS produces Dichroic glass on a variety of glass types . Colors are consistent and uniform . Low color distortion properties at high temperatures make their products the first choice of the most demanding professionals and ideal for novices as well . CBS Dichroic Coatings are specifically designed to be hot worked . CBS coats their glass for use in: Glass Blowing, Flame Working, Fusing, Slumping, Beadmaking, and any other technique that involves the manipulation of glass with extreme heat . The main characteristic of Dichroic Glass is that it has a transmitted color and a completely different reflective color . Furthermore, these two colors shift depending on angle of view . With the play of light, together with its vibrant color, Dichroic Glass is a prime tool used to add interest to any piece of work or project . D&L features the 82, 90, 96, and 33 (Boro) products .

Transmitted color is the straight-through transmission color and is listed first in the descriptions . The second color listed in descriptions is the straight-back reflected color . Due to the nature of manufacturing dichroic glass, some color variation may appear within sheets, among sheets of the same color and after firing . Specialty colors are designed to produce brighter, more vibrant colors when fired . Rainbow 1 and Rainbow 2 are sold as full or half sheets only . Our most popular Premium is Rainbow 2 . If you are unsure of how the glass will fire, order a color bar!

    THE A RTS that we mostly associate with glass, namely transparency and fragility, exploited. CREATIVE The basic materials used to make glass are silica (sand), a flux (soda or potash) and a stabiliser (for example, lime).

  • An Empirical Approach to Colour in Glass
    arts Article An Empirical Approach to Colour in Glass Heike Brachlow School of Arts & Humanities, Royal College of Art, London SW7 2EU, UK; [email protected] Received: 1 December 2018; Accepted: 15 January 2019; Published: 18 January 2019 Abstract: This paper focuses on the characteristics and use of transparent homogenous coloured glass for cast glass sculpture. It provides an overview of glass colouring agents and their characteristics, and establishes factors that influence the appearance of colour in glass. Methods to visually evaluate appropriate colour density for a given form are discussed, as well as essential characteristics that a form must possess to achieve results within a density threshold area, where coloured glass changes in value and/or hue between thick and thin sections. Keywords: colour; volume colour; glass; glass casting; glass sculpture; glass art; optics; density threshold 1. Introduction Colour in glass is an extensive subject and one that I have been researching for many years, with a focus on colours for kiln cast solid glass sculpture. A given form’s appearance can change drastically depending on its colour, and on whether it is transparent, translucent or opaque. Colour decisions are of critical importance to glass artists—they can ‘make or break’ a work. Many glass artists’ approach to choosing colour may be loosely defined as ‘hit and miss’, a method which becomes more reliable as an artist’s experience increases. While glaze testing is an integral part of ceramics methodology, this approach is not always suitable for glass. Although glass artists do employ colour tests, especially when working with frits and powders or designs with multiple colours, to obtain effective test results on how a transparent colour works within a form, one would have to test at full scale, and essentially make a duplicate of the form, the first one being the test.

Those of us who arrived early had a chance to slip away and explore the beauty that is the Pacific Northwest. As we traveled around the area, we were surprised by the num- ber of espresso bars and coffee shops dotting the landscape. I was also struck not only by the natural beauty and culture of the area, but also by the new innovations and rich history of the large glass companies in the Pacific Northwest.

  • National Art Experience
    National Art Experience National Art Experience 2015–2016 Participant Information In partnership with Tacoma, Washington #CampFireLovesGlass Glass Glass is the 2015–16 art medium and includes a wide variety of forms, such as hot-blown, mold-blown, flame-worked, sculpted, sandblasted, fused, slumped, enameled, painted, stained, mosaic, recycled, or a combination of these techniques. By participating in the National Art Experience, you will get the opportunity to learn how artists working with the medium of glass employ a variety of hot, warm, and cold techniques. You will get to experience working with some of the glass techniques. Using small glass tiles, you could decorate objects, such as vases and picture frames. You could create jewelry from glass beads or recycled glass or build mosaic tiles. You may be able to find a glass studio to try basic fusing or glassblowing experiences. There are an amazing number of different ways that glass can be used to create unique projects. Camp Fire is continuing to follow the established six-year cycle of art mediums for the National Art Experience—painting, fibers, printmaking, photography, clay, and open medium. The 2015– 16 program year is open medium, and Camp Fire is thrilled to partner with the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Washington, to explore glass as an art medium.
