		HOW Dichroic Glass Jewellery Is-ko-te (an Oji-Cree word meaning ‘fire’) glass jewellery is made from dichroic glass. This marvellous and vibrant glass is made by vaporizing and layering various and specific oxides onto sheets of fusible glass within a vacuum chamber. As the oxides strike the glass, a crystal structure is created. The selected combination of oxides produces a transmitted colour, a reflected colour and a shift colour. When heated to the temperature required by the fusing process, each original colour shifts along the rainbow to a different set of colours. Other Techniques Used Kiln-formed glass: fused and slumped Traditional leaded glass Foiled and soldered glass Stained glass mosaic Painted and stained glass Some of the Creative Possibilities Conference tables, dining tables, tea tables Theme designs on tabletops, perhaps a different image at each place setting - birds of prey; bears; songbirds; fish; ducks and geese; butterflies; flowers Chess tables with borders to permit space for snacks and drinks Hanging pictures or panels of mosaic, fused glass; painted glass; traditional leaded and/or foiled stained glass - or any combination of these techniques Headboards, fire screens, room dividers, presentation panels Tableware and display pieces Private commissions enquiries are most welcome.
