Still want to make your own fused glass dishes, check out my simplified (but still sparkly) make at home kit [https://stevie-davies.co.uk/product-category/kits]. Explore a little in this short fused glass taster workshop and learn a little about how the kiln firing to 800 degrees c changes the raw/pointy pieces of glass to a have smooth, shiny finish.

We will make arrangements to pick up a few weeks later or I can post your finished piece at cost.
