Slices and Bevels
Furnace glass blowers enjoy a unique advantage in jewelry making that perhaps fusers and flameworkers do not. Through a process of gathering molten glass, glass colors can be layered over a hot clear core or bubble and manipulated to make a cutting blank. This blank can then be sliced at various angles and ground and polished to create differnt "gems".
