Iridized and Dichroic Glass Totem with Diane Enger

In this workshop you will design a 3½-inch by 18-inch totem using two distinctive types of glass: iridized and dichroic. You will combine these highly reflective glasses with transparent glass. This combination is very eye-catching and creates an interesting composition. This piece is a perfect accent for that small space that needs a little pizazz. Minimal glass cutting is required. This class is for beginner or intermediate glass fusers.

Diane Enger started her glass journey working in stained glass, switched to fusing, and has been fusing glass for over 30 years. After receiving a master’s degree in art, she taught art in the Illinois Public School System, Kindergarten through Junior College, as well as gifted classes for 26 years. Diane chose to retire with her husband to the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina. She now finally has the time to be a full-time artist and fused glass teacher.

Glass fusing is a process of combining different glasses and components and heating them in a kiln. By manipulating time and temperature, different depths and surfaces can be created. She says her art is about reflection and contrast; to create visual pieces that give form to her thoughts and observations, using glass and the variety of textures that can be created using it. This combination creates a flow of designs intended to portray her reflections on life – external and internal. She hopes that her work inspires you to take time to reflect…
