A friend of mine was into fused glass and made many nice pieces. I never understood the details of the process, so I'll see what YouTube has.

I do regular stained glass with foil/solder. Never got around to fused and now I have no access to the teacher. Beautiful piece.

as I haven't had access to a teacher since my first class. I've never done stained glass - the foiling seems challenging to get right!

Totally agree. I was heartbroken when I tried to take a hot glass class and realized that I epically sucked at it!

The glass in this piece actually is iridescent rather than dichroic - but I'm with you in loving dichroic. It is just SO expensive!

Love dicrohric glass.

Bought 2 finished small pieces I wrapped lightly to make pendents.
Then a few small beads added to my own unique wire jewelry.
