The Fusing technique offers – as does hardly any other glass design technique – the extension by a third dimension

The Fusing technique offers – as does hardly any other glass design technique – the extension by a third dimension

When one considers that the classic glass design techniques are (as a rule) two-dimensional, the Fusing technique offers the nearly uninterrupted transition to three-dimensionality.

Also the kiln technique has continuously further developed; on our premises, kilns with a useful space of up to 2100 x 3500 mm are available.

Here, with Johannes Schreiber, we made a sample pane for the construction trade fair with dimensions of 1440 x 3410 mm – one of the largest Fusing panes.

 

In addition to the transition to the third dimension, the Fusing technique also offers the option to create an individual painting base with brilliant imbued panes, as was realised in the highly powerful work by Ambros Roten in the chapel in Saas Grund (Switzerland).

Here, Ambros Roten painted freely and powerfully with classic glass paint, after the smelting of the supporting pane.

The Fusing technique can, according to the particular design, also be a comparably affordable technique for large-surface glass design – as in this roof-space separator within a private home
