Mixture Geodesic arranges faceted geometric cells across the glass in a mixed color coating, the crinklized texture giving each angular facet its own wrinkled finish. Against thin black glass the geodesic structure stands out, the dark base defining the edges between facets.
Because the coating mixes colors and crinklizes the surface, the shift is layered. Move the piece and different facets light up in different tones at once, the geodesic cells flashing across blues, greens, and warmer tones depending on which faces meet the light.
Available on clear or black base options. Test before committing to a project, since kiln and setup influence how the mixed coating fires.

Working Notes
Firing Guidelines and Helpful Tips
Dichroic results vary by kiln, firing schedule, base glass, capping, layering, and coating orientation. These are guidelines, not guarantees. Follow the glass and coating manufacturer's guidance, and test a small piece first when the final look matters.
- Coating side orientation and clear capping can each change the final look, so test first when the result matters.
- Appearance may vary after firing, and the metallic color shift can read differently by viewing angle and lighting.
- Cut and handle the coated surface with care.
What COE is this pattern available in?
Available in COE90. The COE is fixed at COE90.
What base glass options are available?
The dichroic coating is applied over a base selected at order. Clear and black appear in the base drop-down. Pattern and base are independent choices; the COE is fixed at COE90.
Can this pattern be capped with clear glass?
Yes. Capping with clear shifts the surface read and softens the texture across faceted cells. Test a small cut first when the finished result matters.
Which base works best with this pattern?
Darker bases frame the geodesic cell structure best, since the seams between facets read sharply against a dark field and the crinklized dichroic shimmer plays against that contrast. Final pairing is yours to pick from the base drop-down.
Should this be tested before firing?
Yes. Dichroic results vary by kiln, schedule, capping, and coating orientation. Test a small cut first when the final look matters.
