Welcome to my website gallery of fused glass.  Inside you'll find functional ware, sculptures, jewelry, giftware, and  information about the art of making kiln-formed glass.   All of the pieces you see here are my original designs and I make all of the pieces myself.   I hope you enjoy your visit.   -   Jeri Goodman

What is fused glass ?    Kiln-forming as a technique to shape glass was in use for centuries before the Romans developed glassblowing.  I use modern-day technology to create my designs using these ancient methods.    Click here for more details.

How is it made ?     Designs are cut from flat sheets of glass.  They are then assembled into the design and fused in a kiln.  Subsequent operations slump the glass into its final shape and anneal it for durability.   Click here for more details.

How does fused glass differ from stained glass ?    Fusible glass expands at a specific rate to avoid cracking during firing.  Producing a "compatible" glass suitable for fusing is an intensive process that increases the production costs of raw material.   Click here for more details.

How is PMC silver used with fused glass ?   PMC is a material that looks and feels like clay but when fired becomes pure silver metal.  Dichroic  fused glass and silver produce a striking combination for jewelry.  Click here for more details.
