Welcome
I make artisan crafted bespoke pieces of jewellery. I mainly work with fused glass and dichroic glass.
What is dichroic glass?
Dichroic glass is a multi-layer coating of quartz crystal and metal oxides. Some colours have as many as 30 layers of these materials yet the thickness of the total coating is approximately 35 millionth of an inch. Coatings are created using the same exact materials originally created for the aerospace industry and is the most expensive type of glass available today.The main characteristic of dichroic glass is that it has a transmitted colour and a completely different 'reflective' colour. These two colours shift depending on angle of view and light.
In addition to the jewellery, I make stained glass and tiffany glass. I have a gallery of some of the work I have done over the years. www.tcstainedglass.co.uk If you have any queries or wish me to make something for you please contact me. |
