Sydenstricker glass galleries Glass fusion His efforts resulted in new and exciting glass designs produced by a method similar to the ancient art of enameling.

In the mid 1960's on Cape Cod, Bill Sydenstricker developed a new craft inspired by the extensive research he had conducted while at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology on early Egyptian art. Our artists continue to follow Sydenstricker's unique process of glass fusion. To start off they hand cut sheets of glass to fit a terracotta mold. The first sheet will be decorated by sifting powdered

glass through a stencil. The stencil is then carefully removed and a second sheet of glass is laid over the decorated piece. Next we place the finished piece on a mold in a kiln and begin the firing process. The kiln will gradually reach temperatures of fifteen hundred degrees within five hours. At this point the two pieces of glass fuse together sealing the design within as well as slump into the mold producing the desired shape. The kiln is then turned off and the glass is left to cool overnight. Finally, the piece will be taken out of the mold to be thoroughly washed and inspected before it can be engraved with our signature 'Syd'. This certifies the piece is of the highest quality and is now ready to be brought up to the gallery to be cherished for lifetimes.

I’m reaching out to you all with some devastating news. The other night the gallery was struck by lightning and it took out our Red Dawn tree. Luckily the building is intact but it caused a lot of electrical issues. We don’t have internet and it fried our office computer so we can’t login to see our website orders. Unfortunately Comcast can’t send another technician until Wednesday to finish fixing the issues. The gallery is open and our phone is now working. If you have placed an online order we will get it shipped out as soon as we can. Thank you all for your patience and support.
