Dichroic glass is a clear or black glass with an advanced technology coating that appears to reverse color between reflected and transmitted light. The Dichroic film is vacuum-deposited in multiple layers, each only a few millionths of an inch thick. Some wavelengths of light pass through while others are reflected. Colors are determined by the number, thickness, and composition of layers. The reflected color is most brilliant on black, but the transmitted color can only be seen through a clear base. The glass is cut and assembled, then fired in a kiln to fuse multiple pieces together, round sharp edges, and improve the color and texture of the dichroic surface. Some pieces are fired once, others up to four times. The wires are handcrafted of sterling silver. |
