Slumped Heart




I fused some red frit into a heart shape onto float glass and fired it in the kiln.
Once it was cooled I cut a heart shape in some fiber board the same size as the heart. This was sanded down around the edges to make it smooth and then fired in the kiln to 600 degrees celsius to burn off the binders within it.
The fused glass was then placed on the fiber board on top of some small kiln props and fired to slump the glass.
This is the final concept that I wanted to try to add to the exhibition piece I am making and want to see what this slumped heart may add to the design.
