Part 3 of tonight's #toots

2 more test pieces, this time a slightly cooler tack fuse at 745c.

I happier with the textures on these pieces as they are more pronounced.

Stringers could still have more definition to them, so another test firing will happen as somepoint over the next few days, this will be at 730c

Stringers are small diameter glass rods.

The heart shape is made from frit which is crushed glass pieces.

So in amongst the stuff and tools I got from a house clearance, there was a small kiln for fireing enamel and pmc.

It being fully programmable means it can also fire glass pieces.

These here are the first trial pieces I did just to start getting to know how the kiln operates.

These pieces are known as fully fused at a temperature of 800c
