My vote is for textured…

I haven’t sold anything yet…but I find when I’m looking at other people’s work, the matte texture seems to be "higher quality."  I would probably pay more for a piece that has a matte finish…

I did a strip bowl at Helios, and when it was full fused and shiny, it was pretty.  But it was sandblasted and slumped, and now has a matte finish…it looks much better.

I think with the popularity of fused glass, I think taking that extra step makes your work stand out a little from the crowd.  Just my two cent’s worth…
