Teach the Teacher - The Benefits of Spectrum System 96

So last week I spent three days teaching local teachers the benefits of using Spectrum System 96 Glass.

The free workshops run by and held at Creative Glass Guild in Bristol were designed to encourage and explore the benefits of System 96 for teachers and students alike.

System 96 glass is a soft, forgiving glass with a long working range and a wide margin of error. It is famously easy to cut; the colors are bright and consistent, and it will tolerate multiple firings without a blemish.


Over the course of the day students were introduced to a series of new and advanced techniques in glass fusion, designed to explore and test the limits of System 96 Glass. Glass dilution, frit migration and reactions in glass were explored and absorbed. These techniques can be learnt on the Further Fusing course taught by yours truly at Creative Glass Guild CLICK HERE for further details and to book your place now!





Reactive Glass - Reactions occur when ions from two adjacent glasses migrate and mingle during the firing
process, where these two glasses join a reaction line occurs, which can add new depth and interest to your glass creations. To find out more about glass reactions and which glasses react with each other come along to the next course!
