Thank you for the many examples. Not sure why, but I was of the impression that striking glass always had to be encased, to keep the struck colors. Is there a general rule of thumb?
No, they do not have to be encased, but they can be, altho sometimes when melting in the encasement, you can de-strike (is that even a word?) the glass and end up with "mud" - - tans and browns.
Fire Lotus is a silver glass from TAG (Trautman Art Glass). Thank you! :) I bought this through a friend of mine who sells it. Various distributors carry TAG glass in the USA, but I am not sure how available it is overseas.
Silver glass seems elusive sometimes - especially the striking ones. Thank you so much for this FREE video class!
I'm so excited to try this next Wednesday! Thanks for the demo!!
YAY!!! You'll have to show me your results! :)
I love your work and I hope to give this a go before to long.
