Sagged - Sagging       When unsupported dichroic fused glass jewelry is heated, it first begins to bend from its own weight then (at a higher temp) lose its shape, finally flowing and merging to a fused mass. Since this change usually occurs over several hundred degrees (F), it is possible to watch the process and control it for artistic purposes. A common art dichroic fused glass jewelry will begin to move slowly at about 1200F, be soft and floppy about 1300F, begin to fuse at about 1400F and fuse flat at 1500F. Artists take advantage of this range by "dropping" the fused glass jewelry into molds or through rings to form bowls and other shapes. Kiln Worked or Warm dichroic glass
