Fused Glass: Organic Burnout 6/17/2023

Organic Burnout technique, sometimes referred to as "Fossil Vitra", consists of layering glass powder directly on leaves (or other organic material) and placing the powder-coated leaves under a sheet of glass. When fired in a kiln, the organic material burns away and the glass powder is fused to the base sheet of glass.  This base sheet is then "slumped" into a functional object.
