Kiln-fired
glass art - Fused glass layers with hand-cut metal inclusions - Personally
signed and dated. This is the work of Charlton Glass.
4000 years ago the Egyptians and Persians mastered the art of fusing glass. The knowledge they gained while working with this complex and unpredictable material continues to inspire creative work to this day. The age-old technique of kiln-forming glass has always been fascinating due to the magical transformation of glass when combined with heat.
Designing glass applications for more than twenty five years, Sandie Charlton and her sons, John and Chad, have revived the ancient art of combining glass and metal. The individually, hand-cut copper pieces are fused between layers of glass to form functional pieces of art. The 1500-degree kiln turns the copper into unique, fiery images. The result of the eighteen-hour heating and cooling cycle is a durable, yet beautiful, piece of glass art.
Charlton glass is food safe. Hand washing is recommended. Please do not microwave.
