What is Dichroic Glass?
The word "dichroic" actually means "two-color." But the dichroic effect really lets you
see three colors on the same spot almost at the same time: the transmitted color, the
reflected color, and the color you see as the piece shifts angles with the light.
Dichroic glass is amazing. It fuses the technology of the space industry with age-old
craftsmanship. Crafters apply micro-thin layers of metals to the glass using a vacuum
chamber. The types of metals and the order in which they are deposited determine the
colors.
The deep, playful effect is a bold rendition of nature's dragonfly or the feathers of a
hummingbird. High tech physics gives us endless shimmers of beauty in these creations.
Once you see these beautiful pieces in sunlight, you will forever be in love with dichroic
glass!
