Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) - Market Development

The department recognizes that expensive hauling costs prohibit recycling programs that rely on out-of-state markets to pay for collected glass. Instead, as with other recycables, Montana must encourage local businesses or programs to utilize collected materials. Such local businesses or “markets” contribute to cost-effective recycling programs and avoid expenses related to shipping recyclables out of state to industrial processors. Objective The Montana Department of Environmental Quality’s long term objective is to have market development projects establish a local glass recycling opportunity.

The following are examples of pilot projects throughout Montana communities using recycled glass cullet. The parking lot was designed for water conservation. MDT Road Project: Whitehall, Montana.

Well documented options include painting with enamels (if you have the skill), silk-screening (if you have the equipment), and even “assembling” the picture with frit (if you have the patience). This tutorial, which first appeared in the Winter 2010 Glass Craftsman magazine, is for a technique I’ve named Fossil Vitra – an alternative to the above methods. Fossil Vitra requires no painting or drawing skills, and no special equipment.

The Fossil Vitra technique is made by layering glass powder directly on leaves (or other organic material) and placing the powder-coated leaves under a sheet of glass. When fired, the organic material burns away and the glass powder is fused to the base sheet of glass. This tutorial will take you step-by-step through the process of creating your own Fossil Vitra fused glass piece. Next, a list of what you will need for this project.

Fused Glass "Puddles" What’s a “puddle”?

Fused Glass "Puddles"

Component making is a big part of working with fused glass. Pot melts, pattern bars, and powder wafers are just a few of the things we make that become parts of bigger projects This tutorial shows you one of the easiest to make and most useful components, something we call “puddles”.* The technique takes advantage of two of the most important glass properties: 1) Surface Tension: 2) Gradual Melting As glass is heated, it metls - and softens - gradually. All you need for this tutorial are some small pieces of sheet glass, your kiln, and some glass breaking tools.

Let’s get started! * Don’t walk into your local studio and start talking about making puddles unless you want to be shown the way to the restroom. For this two tutorial I’ll show you the making of two puddles. Place the stack(s) of glass in your kiln as shown. Fire the kiln using the following schedule (which should work fine for 90 or 96 COE glass): Here’s what the glass looks like when the firing is complete:

Information about 110- J fiber paper

In comparison to most standard grades of fiber paper, the 110 is denser and more rigid. It cannot be rolled or molded and must be used in its flat state. 110 paper is rated to 2300 F (1260 C), with a recommended operating temperature of 1900 F (1040 C). Its color is light tan and like most fiber papers it has a different texture on each side. 110 paper is shipped in flat sheets that are 48" by 42". From a warm glass perspective, 110-J paper performs very well, especially when compared to conventional "soft" fiber papers.

Like most fiber papers, 110 should be handled with care. Kiln Furniture - Anything in Stained Glass. Kiln Shelves and Kiln Posts and kiln stilts at the Lowest Prices. System 96 by Spectrum. Score 116 - Sea Turtle Dish.
