Glass Fusing Fundamentals | Lesson 6: Cleaning Glass Prior to Firing

Lesson 6 of this instructional course delves into the causes and prevention of devitrification, and provides a step-by-step tutorial of how to clean a project prior to kiln-firing it. I collaborated with ‪@oceanside-glass‬ to create this series as a comprehensive introductory course to glass fusing. As an experienced artisan of the craft, I've structured it to include everything I wish I knew when I first started fusing, as well as knowledge it took me years to learn, with the goal of providing a free, easy-to-follow method of becoming skilled in this unique art form.
