Welcome!
Located in Carrboro, North Carolina, Jamstones Art Glass specializes in fused glass jewelry that is colorful and eye-catching. We make jewelry, plates, and more!
Fused glass is glass produced in a kiln, a high temperature oven. For my glass works I use dichroic glass, which contains infused metals, to produce different colors, textures, and forms. My pieces are composed of cut, crushed (also known as frit) and powdered glass which, when fused in a kiln, create a solid piece. By heating the kiln to varying temperatures and using different firing times I can create a myriad of effects.
Glass is very tactile. I hope my pieces make you want to look, feel and wonder how they are made.

One of my kilns to fuse my glass. This one is great for making larger works!

I started doing fused art glass because I like things that sparkle. By using dichroic glass, which has infused metals, I can create different colors, textures and forms. Fusing glass is my way of taking a break from the everyday work world where I teach clarinet and saxophone.
My pieces are composed of cut, crushed (also known as frit) and powdered glass which, when fused in a kiln, create a solid piece. By heating the kiln to varying temperatures and using different firing times I can create a myriad of effects. Glass is very tactile. I hope my pieces make you want to look, feel and wonder how they are made. When you put a piece in a kiln you have an idea of what will be created, However, upon opening the kiln after firing my first thought is that glass is truly alive and has an ebb and flow of its own.
