Dichroic glass is a magical glass with a glowing luster and a rainbow of colors that make a dynamic statement. Cabochons of dichroic glass can be used in jewelry making or as an accent in a larger piece. On the first day, students will cut out random pieces of dichroic glass and sandwich them between layers of clear glass creating a slab. This slab will be melted at 1350 degrees Fahrenheit. While waiting you will prepare silver hoops and create a beaded necklace to attach your cabochon to. On day two your slab is cooled and ready to cut into various sizes. Sandwiching the silver hoop with matching pieces of glass, and your dichroic slab pieces, the pieces are then re-melted together to create a completed cabochon. Once cooled youwill use your cabochon to create a wearable piece of art by
adding it to a beaded necklace or using a silver chain. You will love creating wearable art for yourself, friends, family and you may even consider a new line of work, making jewelry.
