There's a guy called 'The GlassHoppa'... 

He is one one the great people throughout the world of Glass Fusing who take the time to share their ideas and techniques, and encourage newbies like us to use those ideas for ourselves.

These Christmas Trees take a little time to construct, laying hand-cut shards of glass on a shaped clear base. We then decorate with small glass beads that we've made during previous projects. These are then Tack Fused, which is hot enough to fuse the separate pieces of glass onto the base and themselves, but leaving a great 3D texture to the resulting tree. Once it's cooled, we glue on a hanging bail, and then thread some ribbon ready for you to hang it on your tree.

These trees come in a variety of colours, and vary in size. They are usually between 6 cm and 9 cm tall.

Due to the way in which glass moves when heated, and because all pieces are hand cut, each of our pieces are unique.
