Mixing Glass and Copper

 Glass powder and flux heated from underneath to give a textured finish
 Layer of hot glass, pieces of copper, more glass dropped on top
 Copper wire encapsulated in hot glass
 Copper wire encapsulated in fused glass
 Copper sheet kiln fired with scrap glass pieces and coloured glass powder

Through my testing I have noticed a familiar theme, which is mixing copper with glass. I think this could be a good theme to take forwards, experimenting more with shaping the copper before it gets put in the glass, and possibly patinating or texturing it after.
