My technique for making this study was to cast glass with crushed frit, then break up with a hammer to create abstract shapes to make the fused glass piece. Considering the last use as a synagogue was Kristalnacht, the Night of the Broken Glass, it felt very appropriate to make the glass this way.

When I was asked to design the German church former synagogue, I was excited to use Bullseye Glass, for I could achieve results that could not have been possible with the glass that I was previously using. Every glass is tested compatible. I was going for the look for the Rodef Shalom Window “Who Shall Ascend Into The Mountain of the Lord. The church really liked the abstract quality. When I made the windows in 1989, I had to do a mosaic glass on glass technique to have reds, orange and pinks. It was tremendously labor intensive. When Bullseye became tested compatible, I was able to create the look of a mosaic without glueing every piece down. The red, yellows, oranges, and pinks are brilliant.
