Glass Fusing artwork – Bottle Slumping Crafts|Melted Glass Art
Slumping glass bottles involves heating the bottles in a kiln until they melt and change shape – see glass fusing FAQ’s. Using this process we recycle and repurpose glass bottles as functional or decorative artwork pieces that can be hand painted. Bottles can be slumped flat and used as cheese trays, cutting boards, spoon holders, sushi plates, wind chimes, sun catchers, table or wall decorations. Bottles can be slumped again in specially shaped molds and they will take the shape of these molds. We currently mold bottles as serving bowls| incense burners| candle holders.
You
can use slumped bottles as functional and decorative pieces in your business and home. They add zing to parties and fundraisers and make unique
gifts. Painted bottles like Grey Goose Vodka are great because you can see
the bottle’s logo after slumping them. You can buy our slumped bottles or have your own bottles slumped by us. We also teach warm glass fusing arts & crafts fused jewelry artwork classes where you learn the slumping process and make dichtoic glass jewelry and artwork.
**** Have Your own Bottles Slumped By Us
