Dichroic Glass Pendant

Susan Pratt-Smith creates one-of-a-kind jewelry, vibrant wall panels, and stained glass installations using dichroic and fused glass. Dichroic glass contains multiple micro-layers of metal oxides that reflect different colors depending on what direction or angle they are viewed from. "By controlling the layering of the oxide thicknesses, which can be up to 50 layers, different colors are obtained." Susan's inspiration comes from tide pools, deep woodland pools, and skating on cranberry bogs frosted with black ice. Susan's work can be found at galleries throughout the US, and she has received numerous awards her , including 1st place from the Art Glass Association of Southern CA.
