Cold Rolled Recycled Art Glass Sheets

Cold Rolled Recycled Art Glass Sheets

Pictures show Recycled Art Glass being used to make stained glass sheets. The same Multi-Colored Collet is used for all 4 pictures shown. The Recycled Art Glass upon reduction causes iradized patterns. 2 are cast directly from the crucible and 2 were placed in a glory hole prior to casting to show patterning. The sheets were created by placing hot glass between a marble base on rolling table and a large steel roller to press flat. The sheets are 4" x 5" and 4" x 6". Visit www.RecycledArtGlass.com

Glass Tiles for a Blacksplash

Glass Tiles for a Blacksplash

These tile were made for a custom home in Ben Lomond, CA to be used in a backsplash. They are abstract in nature with a 2D effect on the surface. The glass used is a Tiffany Style Mottled Art Glass produced by Oceana Glass Company. This glass was not intended for fusion and had a dramatic color change upon firing. If you would like to make your own tiles from old Oceana stock (94 to 96 coe) - I have several pounds in abstract shapes available for sale.

Re- A-Signed Recycled Glass Stoplight Lenses

Re- A-Signed Recycled Glass Stoplight Lenses

We were given a truckload of these lenses by the County Works Department to recycle after California decided to use plastic instead of glass lenses.

Recycled Art Glass Vases

Recycled Art Glass Vases

Vases blown from recycled studio art glass - a lot of it was iridized. We found that when we strike the piece with a reduced flame we would get beautiful patterning somtimes representing what appear to be storm scenes on the exterior.

Pieces have the appearance of glazed stoneware.

Recycled Oceana Glass Mosaic Tiles

Mosaic 1" tiles with 1/2" overlay fused of Recycled Oceana Art Glass. The tiles are made of old stock Oceana Art Glass. Oceana is a 2 and 3 color Tiffany Style Mottled Art Glass made in Santa Cruz, CA and closed in 2001. For years we collected what are called the end cuts. Oceana was a hand rolled art glass and when the roller went over the hot glass, some of the wildest color patterns pushed to the edges. The edges were trimmed off the make a square sheet of glass and these were called the end cuts. We cut some of these end cuts into 1" and 1/2" squares and fused them together making these small tiles used in mosaic designs.

Tuna Can Drops

Tuna Can Drops

Dichroic glass 90 series slumped through a hole in a steel (not aluminum) tuna can. One was restricted by placing a tray beneath the can giving it a foot to stand on. The other is unrestricted giving it a round bottom. The tops have been cold worked. Creating little mini vases. I find that this is a great way to get rid of unusable scrap.
