Fused Glass Bowl One of the questions that is often asked in the fused glass world is, “How do I get the back of my glass smooth?” When glass softens, it picks up the texture of whatever it’s against. That texture might be from shelf paper or kiln wash, or even the texture of a smooth stainless steel mold. Thus, the qualities of glass that make it so versatile also cause some of its problems.

Rather than fight this problem, why not use it to your advantage? Paul Tarlow has published a great little ebook that teaches several methods for using texture in design of bowls. The book is called, “Beautiful Bowl Backs” and it can be found at http://fusedglassbooks.com/. Click here to read more.
