Coral Dishes

09/06/2015
Below I will show in stages how I made a coral dish:-










Stage 1
I gathered together various blue green coloured glass 2mm thick pieces.
Various shades of blue green 2mm glass









Stage 2
These glass pieces were cut into thin strips of variable lengths at about 3mm wide
Cut strips





Stage 3
After tracing a round shape onto the kiln paper on the kiln shelf, I then carefully laid the strips to make a pattern. It was important to cover each join with another small square of glass.
