Mercurial Art
Mercurial Art uses a technique of fusing with crushed glass "frit painting" where glass particles are applied like daubs of paint on a canvas. But unlike a canvas glass can reflect, refract and diffuse light, creating actual depth and not just the appearance of it.

Cindy Cherrington Art Glass
This piece began with powdered glass sifted onto a base sheet and kiln-fired. Then Cindy built up layers using crushed colored glass (frit), firing after each one. The glass takes on the look of paint. Yet no paint is ever used in her work—only glass.
