This dramatic 3-piece set was created by cutting three 3mm Bullseye glass disks, each one a slightly different diameter and color. Each disk is topped with a disk of 3mm Opaline of the same size and all three sets are fired to a full fuse.

What Makes this eNOTE Unique

This eNOTE provides a brief glimpse into Color Theory, using a monochromatic color theme, and a brief introduction to the techniques of glass slumping and to the drop process.

Bullseye Opaline glass is used to enhance the palette of dark, medium and light coral oranges.  When Opaline is fired on top of a transparent color, it creates a hazy and subtle color shift in the base color.  This effect is most obvious when the piece is viewed from the top side in reflected light (normal room lighting.

For this set, simple drop ring molds are suspended at three different heights above a prepared (Thinfire covered or kilnwashed) kiln shelf, and fired so that the glass slumps or drops through the center hole.  This firing results in three different depths for the graduated set of plates.  The plates can display beautifully together or be used individually.
