Glass is a natural addition to your fired arts program since you are able to use your ceramic kiln for firing. It's fun for most any age and allows you to share the process of heating and cooling glass and the results of that process with your students. Glass offers limitless possibilities in your school. A class auction project will get a fresh twist when each student glues some glass onto a base to create one large work of art. Try having each student create a glass tile that will become part of a larger project such as a table top, wall display or elements of a larger fused piece. Smaller projects such as nightlights, votives, pendants and coaster sets are great for individual works of art that may be given as gifts. Create glass bowls for an Empty Bowls events or enliven your room with sun catchers that the students create. Test the waters with glass fusing by ordering one of our six Start Up Kits. Each kit offers everything you need to begin fusing glass in your school including tools and all firing essentials. Ordering a kit simplifies the process of determining what to do since we have done the planning for you. Additionally, our Warm Glass Training Guide provides all of the information that you need to learn about glass fusing and slumping. Buffalo Chips (our newest product), Bits, Noodles, Strips and Buffalo Chips are perfect for creating works of art in the classroom. Bisque Imports only sells glass with a 96 COE (coefficient of expansion). You will often see notations of 96 COE glass in the market. It is important to remember that glass with different COEs should not be mixed as the glass from different COEs expands and contracts at different rates. Thus, there is always tension between the two and the piece can break when it is finished or even during the firing. We are excited about sharing Bisque Imports Warm Glass with you and are ready to help you as you begin or expand glass fusing in your school. Warm glass opens us a tremendous opportunity for you and your students. As always, the Bisque Imports Crew is eager to hear your feedback and learn how we may be of better service to you and your school. We look forward to working with you and this hot new product. | |
