Mosaic Art Glass Assortment 2-lbs

2 pounds of American-made stained glass pieces chosen for pigment density.

Color	Clear

Description

Our Mosaic Art Glass Assortment includes 2-lbs of American-made stained glass pieces for making mosaic artwork. With opaque mosaic work surfaces in mind, we choose pieces for pigment density and opacity. These assortments offer a great way to sample a wide variety of stained glass types and colors. We also sell individual colors of stained glass in 6-inch sheets if you need an individual color. Piece size varies, but we try to cut pieces 2 to 3 inches wide, so there should be fewer pieces measuring 1 inch or less. Cutting Scrap will have smaller pieces.

Black White Gray – grayscale stained glass mix

Blue – variety of dark-to-light blue stained glass

Designer Neutrals and Foggy Grays – unusual odds-and-ends, muted and variegated pieces, landscape tones

Glass on Glass Mix Translucents and Transparents – foggy, cloudy, see-through multicolored mix**

Golden Amber Brown – variety of brown-beige stained glass

Green – variety of dark-to-light green stained glass

Iridized – all-iridescent multicolored mix**

Premium – rainbow+ assortment with red-orange-yellow, pink-purple, blue-green, brown, black and white

Sunset – warm gradient mix of red-orange-yellow and pink-purple

*All mixes may include one Ripple/textured piece. **All mixes emphasize opacity except Glass on Glass Mix, and Iridized may include clear iridescents.

Product Coverage

Each two-pound bag is approximately 1.25 square feet of stained glass. If you cut these pieces into mosaic tiles of about 3/4 inch or less and use a grout gap of 1/16 inch, then the bag could cover 1.5 square feet.

Compatibility

Stained glass is approximately 1/8 inch thick and therefore nominally the same as most of the glass mosaic tile we sell. We also have 3/4-inch stained glass tiles.

Cutting Art Glass

Mosaic Art Glass cuts quickly with minimal force using our Mosaic Glass Cutters. Caution: Stained glass is usually sharper than regular molded glass mosaic tile. Extra care must be used in cutting, handling, and grouting to ensure that sharp edges are not left exposed. One technique to knock off the razor slivers from freshly-cut stained glass edges (called flash or groze) is to swirl pieces around in a plastic bucket with a little water. The Rubbing Stone and Marble File we sell are useful for smoothing sharp edges and are recommended when the mosaic is for a wall or architectural element.

The traditional stained glass artists’ tool for smoothing edges is the Grozing Pliers, but the Rubbing Stones and Marble Files produce smoother edges and can round off sharp points and corners.
