GLASS
Glass fusing is a captivating art form that melds together the beauty of color, shape, and transparency to create lovely pieces of glass art. The process involves arranging pieces of colored glass on a flat surface or in a mold. Once arranged, the glass is heated in a kiln at high temperatures, typically ranging from 1,300 to 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit, causing the individual pieces to melt and fuse together into a single, cohesive piece. Through careful control of temperature and timing, artists can achieve a variety of effects, from vibrant patterns to delicate textures. As the glass cools, it solidifies, emerging with new designs and colors within its smooth surface. The result is eye-catching art that reflects both the creativity of the artist and the transformative power of heat and glass.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Kitty Hudson Cawley
Living in Davis, California, Kitty is a versatile artist who enjoys the worlds of photography, glass mosaics and glass fusing to create works of art. Kitty first began her photography journey in 2012, finding inspiration in the beauty of natural landscapes. With her camera as a constant companion, Kitty delights in fleeting moments of nature’s beauty filled with emotion and depth. Her images enliven both interior and exterior spaces with the vibrancy of nature captured in both printed photographs and sparkling stained glass mosaics. In 2022 she expanded her artistic journey into glass fusing, where she makes exquisite pieces of one-of-a-kind dinnerware, each with its own lure of light and texture. Again drawing inspiration from nature's intricate patterns and textures, Kitty's work leans into the interplay between light and transparency, inviting viewers into a world where reality and imagination intertwine.
