Hi there. I am new to glass fusing, having only done a 2 day course and not got my own kit yet. The course has got me dreaming about all sorts of ideas for things I could make. However, I’m wondering about the properties of fused glass. For example, is it frost-proof and OK to keep permanently outside? Also, in terms of safety, how does it compare to safety/tempered/toughened glass? Does anyone know what it is like when it breaks? Does it crumble or form dangerous shards? Are there any important things I should know that would limit its applications (such as size, purpose etc)?
Many thanks in advance for any advice from all those experienced glass fusers out there.
