In this glass gold leaf was glued to the outer surface of the glass and engraved. The glass was then heated slowly in the kiln over several hours. When hot enough, it was picked up and put into the furnace, to fuse the gold to the glass. Only if the glass is heated to slumping point will the fusing be successful and remain permanent. This is how much of my work is done with the hot process. The cold process is different. Meanwhile, my first trade fair, The Cambridge Glass Fair, last weekend, went very well.
