The Stell Original pattern carries a free-flowing mix of organic shapes and broken lines rather than a strict repeat, so the surface reads more like flowing movement than a fixed grid. Cut pieces each pull a different slice of that loose, varied texture. The Stell Original design is the work of glass artist Chris Stell.
The Cyan/Copper Fusion coating blends a bright watery cyan with a warm copper, and the two colors meet and fold into each other as light moves. Turning the glass pushes the copper forward in some areas while cyan flares in others, following the irregular pattern lines.
This pattern comes on clear and black base options. Fire a test piece first because the fusion of tones can vary by setup.

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 is CBS Dichroic glass?
Dichroic glass is known for showing different colors depending on light and viewing angle. Ancient examples include the Roman Lycurgus Cup, whose color shift came from tiny gold and silver particles within the glass. Modern art dichroic glass uses a different thin-film coating approach: very thin metal or metal-oxide layers on the glass surface reflect some wavelengths of light while allowing others to pass through. CBS Dichroic glass applies this coating over a base glass, and the coating is on one side only.

Should I test before firing?
Yes. Dichroic results vary by kiln and setup, so test a small piece first when the final look matters.
Can I cap dichroic glass with clear glass?
Many artists cap dichroic glass with clear, and capping can change the final look. Test first to confirm the result you want.
