Try fuming gold first, then silver.and with or without gold, cook it in a reducing flame until its no longer a mirrored sheen. If your fume looks like toothpaste, it's way to much. It's so much cheaper than color and I think it looks better. While most people get all excited about every new color, I am cheap, and have spent most of my career experimenting with fume. ![]() If y'all have any questions about how to get a certain color, or a certain effect, I am happy to help. That being said, if you love working with fume, it is well worth your time to try the same fume work on a variety of types if clear. Almost all of my fume work is intended to have a full spectrum of colors and I only get controlled results with the BSA. ![]() Both react with the silver in a way I find harder to control and unattractive. When I use kimble, I find the colors blend too much and almost everything is a creamy yellow to orange. I end up with white haze and metallic orange when I sleeve or encase it. When I fume with simax, the silver grows way too much and always overpowers the gold in the blended area. I find that it is easiest to control my results with the BSA.

Fuming provides almost limitless variety too. He found various boro colors tended to run in trends, but fuming always seemed to look good and was always desirable outside of trends. Studying there with trial and error on the bench helped him develop his own style on his own terms.Įventually he moved away from working with the array of boro colors, and in to clear boro with fuming as his main focus. ![]() He started working with color in boro and learning techniques he read about on GlassPipes, the old Org website for boro artists. There aren’t glassblowing schools available in many parts of the US, or easy access to classes by working artists. Like many glass artists outside of the Pacific NW, KZA is self taught. The relationship people had with their boro glass piece really got his interest. He was interested in several approaches to art as a medium, but kept returning to glass. KZA Glass started working with glass in Chicago during his high school years in the early 2000’s.
