Product Information

Bullseye opalescent sheet glass has an assertiveness and complexity of colour that isn’t matched anywhere. These sheets, when held to light, respond with a fascinating array of complementary hues - like an opal.

Put the wonderful reactive powers of this glass to use.  Take a look at the 'Riot of Effects' pdf (in Product Attachments) for inspiration on using this glass.

Consistent colour.

Working notes: 

A sulphur glass. May react with gold-bearing lead (1311, 1411, 0301, 0305) and copper (1116, 1408, 1417, 0144, 0145, 0146) glasses to create dark interface (lead sulphide, copper sulphide). Very viscous; will flow later and less than other glasses. Generally more sensitive to heat-history and more likely to show variation in colour after fusing than many opals. When fired on edge, a clear distinction between outside and interior surfaces is commonly seen (a variation used by designers). This glass may become increasingly white with repeated firings. Consider using glass from the same batch for a given project.

All our glass is COE90, Bullseye Glass compatible and suitable for applications such as glass fusing, glass casting and glass slumping (unless otherwise stated in the description).

I fuse my glass on a bed of builders plaster. this allows me to add fine, one off textures to my jewellery. But, when I fire the vanilla with silver or fiber frax it is throwing up bronze, or at lower temps it looks burnt.. A commission I had recently ended up like fossils and stone like. love it
