BubbleART
is a fired glass color that is a non-leaded color.
These 10 colors are translucent/transparent
colors that were designed to be fused between two layers
of glass to create bubbles.
These colors are design dependent, meaning that
where you put your design you can control the bubbles.
If you use a liner brush and place lines on the
glass and leave spaces between them you will get lines
of bubbles. Solid
areas will be all over bubbles.
You can place dots of color and these will be
small collections of bubbles.
BubbleART can also be used on top of glass.
You will get a textured look and feel.
Some colors will be transparent and others will
be opaque when used on top of glass.
Some of these effects are technique dependent.
Mix 1 to 1 with GM300 Glass Medium.
You can add more GM300 Glass Medium to change the
consistency and your application which can change the
color intensity.
Shake jar before mixing with glass medium.
These colors are much more gritty than the
original glass color line.
The gritty stuff will create intense color, if
you don’t want that you can pick it off the wet color
before it dries.
The heavier the color is put on the darker it
will be. The
thinner it is put on the lighter in color it will be.
When using float glass (window) you tend to get
larger bubbles. When
using 90 or 96 COE you will get smaller bubbles.
The float glass can be fired between 1425-1550 F.
The 96 COE glass when fired to 1485 F tends to
shrink in but the bubbles are a little larger than a
firing of 1450 F with a 2 minute hold.
96 COE glass fired to 1450 F is a nice fuse of
the 2 pieces of glass but the bubbles are very small.
Each kiln is different and test should be done
before starting a large project.

when using Float glass (window) and the hotter the
