This is a glass fusing technique known as “reactive fusing” where the artist achieves a reaction based on the chemicals that were used to colour the glass. ie copper for blues, sulphur for whites, silver for the yellows and gold for pinks and reds. When these chemicals touch under high temperatures, they cause a reaction.
