Susan Higgins began designing and fabricating leaded stained glass windows in 1980. She studied drawing, painting and design at the Ontario College of Art and Design, and has completed courses and workshops in a variety of glass working techniques. She began fusing glass in 1988.


December Afternoon Platter

To create an object of fused glass, shapes are cut from specially formulated sheets of clear and coloured glass, and then composed to create a design of multiple layers. The composition is then kiln-fired to about 1500° F at which point the fragments melt together and create a single solid piece of glass. To form a bowl or plate, the fused glass is kiln-fired again, this time over a mold. The influences of heat and gravity “slump”, the softened glass into the mold, creating a three dimensional object. Her glass is food-safe, making the finished pieces functional as well as decorative.

Fused glass and stained glass have different properties and artistic potentials. They may be used individually, or incorporated together in a window project. 

Susan’s award winning fused glass is sold at The Shutterbug Gallery in Huntsville, and The Guild Shop in Toronto’s fashionable Yorkville district. Visit Susan’s studio outside Huntsville year-round by appointment.
