********** What is Dichroic Glass? **********
Dichroic glass is a high-tech spin-off of glass used in the space industry. The extraordinary brilliance of Dichroic glass can only be experienced firsthand. The colors are very vivid, metallic, and change according to the angle they are viewed from.
*********** Glassworks ***********************
I have been working with image transfer on the dichroic glass for the past ten years, and I have many silhouette designs, all my pendants are made in my studio in new jersey (smoke-free studio). All pendants are fused, and The glass is then annealed and slowly cooled for strength and durability. After cooling and depending on how the piece results, it may require being shaped and trimmed, then put back in the kiln and "fire-polished" to a smooth finish.
********* Dichroic Glass Photos *************
The photo is only a representation given the variances in photography and the fact that Dichroic glass is most difficult to photograph as a result of the change of colors from various perspectives.
Thank you for your time.
