When I started making stained glass windows in 1972, I had no idea that art glass would actually become my career. Hi. My name is Gil Reynolds and my wife Carmen and I run Fusion Headquarters. My stained glass art turned out to be my stepping stone into fused glass in 1981. Back then we didn’t have much of anything in the way of fused glass supplies. We were using ceramic kilns with the elements on the sides and we broke a lot of glass. The glass fusing kiln hadn’t really been invented yet. I was able to make a separate lid element for an old kiln I used for glass painting with glass enamels. That worked pretty well and eliminated a lot fused glass breaking in the kiln. In time Paragon, Jen-Kins, Skutt, Evenheat and many others would refine the glass fusing kiln into the sophisticated glass working tool that it is today.
Bullseye glass was just starting their compatible glass program in 1981. Boyce Lundstrum was then the president of Bullseye Glass Company and he had a vision that stained glass could be made compatible and a whole new era of fused glass art would emerge. Glass fusing artists owe Boyce a bit of thanks for getting the current fusing and the slumped glass movement started. I was one of the first instructors that Bulleye Glass Company sent out on the road to teach glass fusing classes. In the 1980’s I taught several hundred glass fusing and slumping classes. As I traveled around the U.S. and abroad I noticed that there were a lot of people excited about fusing glass in kilns but there were not many glass working tools or specific glass fusing supply sources. I would find some glass fusing supplies and take them to my glass classes so my students would have the glass tools they needed to successfully fuse glass on their own.
I founded Fusion Glass Works in 1982 for my fused art glass commissions. We started Fusion Headquarters, Inc. in 1987 featuring “Hard to Find Glass Fusing Supplies” to help out my fellow glass fusers. Of course back then all glass fusing supplies were pretty much hard to find, but we were able to satisfy some of the most basic fused glass needs. What started as a small flier with a handful of glass tools and glass fusing supplies has grown over the years into a full blown catalog of fused glass supplies.
