ArtGlass Clay and Dichroic Extract Flower Pendant Tutorial

With ArtGlass Clay, you can create unusual patterns and textures in glass easily and quickly. Art-Glass Clay has allowed me a freedom to work with glass in a new way. It gives the freedom to shape glass without heat into very detailed patterns or shapes. In keeping with my love of all things dichroic, I have chosen to use another new product called Dichroic Extract from Coatings by Sandberg to add the shimmer of color to the surface of my ArtGlass Clay work.

Here Are The Tools You Will Need:

  • Texture stamp sheet from BarbaraMcQuire.com

  • Silicone mold from Wilton.com for the flower

  • Clay circle die cutter from Wilton.com

  • Clay roller (I use a short piece of PVC pipe)

  • A freezer or dry ice

  • Small round or triangular diamond file

  • Sandpaper

  • Spray bottle with water or hair spray

  • Soft brush

  • Hot plate or oven

  • Kiln with controller

  • ArtGlass Clay and Dichroic Extract

Supplies:

  • 2 colors of ArtGlass clay: French Vanilla and Pine Green

  • One dichroic glass cabochon available from PaulaRadke.com

  • One jar of dichroic extract from CoatingsbySandberg.com (I used a Blue/Gold color)

  • 24 inches of leather, color of your choice (I used 1.5mm silver blue from FireMountainGems.com)

  • 6 Dichroic beads from PaulaRadke.com
