Rosie's Roses Fused Glass Creations.
The art of Fused glass is an adventure, every time I open the kiln I never know what I will find - shapes and colors change, different temperatures give different finishes, Dichroic glass catches the light like the sun on water! What started as a hobby has developed into a passion and is "passion fundraising" at its best!
After taking class in Fused Glass in The Currier Gallery for 3 years, I purchased a kiln and now have a small home-based fused glass business and ALL profits benefit the CFF - passion fundraising. My glass creations change and develop every time I put on the kiln but my inspirations are mainly from nature and I LOVE bright colors and change with the seasons! What a privilege to be able to do something I love and help find a cure for cf at the same time. I make small plates (ideal as spoon rest or teabag dish), pictures, sun-catchers, holiday ornaments and jewelry. I also recycle wine bottles and slump them to make beautiful cheese- boards! My glass business is called after our Great Strides walk team - Rosie's Roses!

New Designs!
Unique glass pendants, fused with copper design inclusion.
Finished with a silver plated bail.
Teabag holders/spoon rests/soap dishes....whatever dishes!
These useful plates ( approx 4 1/2" by 4 1/2") are so handy as spoon rests, tea bag holders in the kitchen, soap dishes in the bathroom, earring or coin holders on a dresser........countless ways of using. They are food safe so can be used to serve small nibbles of food - each one is unique!
Care of your glass!
- Always remember that your plate, votive holder, pendant is glass and needs to be handled with some care but is Fused glass so won't break very easily!
- Wash in warm soapy water, do not put in the dishwasher as the prolonged heat might effect the finish.
- Keep jewelry wrapped in a safe place where it is unlikely to be in contact with other pieces.
- I use high strength craft glue for gluing the bails to the pendants. However, glass is a very smooth surface and for some reason, I am not sure why, it might be humidity or temperature, sometimes the bails detach. Simply stick back on with a strong super-glue or Epoxy type adhesive. Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any problem with this and I can repair!
Unfortunately if the glass breaks it is impossible to repair it to its former glory - though I can always try and re-fuse it and see what we end up with!!
