Where Fusing and Blowing combine for exciting and beautiful collaboration
Oceanside Compatible® glass products for the warm and hot glass arts, make it possible for Fusers and Blowers to collaborate in producing a beautiful art form, the “Roll Up” vessel.
The wide range of Oceanside Compatible glass products, makes it possible for Fusers and Blowers to collaborate in producing a beautiful art form — the “Roll Up” vessel.
First, the Fuser creates the design in the form of a thick slab of glass. In the hot shop, the Blower then rolls the heated slab onto the pipe and begins to work it and shape it into its final form.
The PDF contains this same information in a printable format.
Check in your community to see if you might collaborate with a local blowing studio that uses Oceanside Compatible Nuggets® in their furnaces and offers this service to create your own Roll Up vessels.
