The Stell Strips pattern, designed by glass artist Chris Stell, features long, parallel bands running across the surface for a structured linear effect. Cuts made along or across these bands highlight the pattern's directional rhythm.
The Mixture Tropical Rays dichroic coating adds a dynamic blend of warm and cool tones that shift with angle and light, creating a lively interplay along the bands. This pattern is available on clear or black COE90 base glass. Always test fire a small piece, as color effects may vary with kiln and setup.
Stell Strips patterned dichroic glass is often used in fused glass jewelry, accents, and layered art pieces where a defined linear motif and color-shifting surface are desired.

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?
CBS Dichroic glass is a base glass with a thin, color-shifting coating on one side. In this product, the dichroic coating follows the Stell Strips pattern, creating long parallel bands that interact with light and viewing angle.
Is this glass compatible with COE90 projects?
Yes, this product is COE90 and suitable for COE90 fusing applications.
What base glass options are available?
This glass is offered on clear or black COE90 base, in a range of sheet sizes as listed on the product page.
Which base works best with this pattern?
The parallel-band pattern appears more defined on a black base, while a clear base gives a softer, layered effect. Choose according to your project's needs.
Should I test before firing?
Testing a small piece is recommended, as dichroic results can vary with kiln, firing schedule, and glass orientation.
Can I cap dichroic glass with clear?
Capping with clear is common and can alter the final appearance. Test first to ensure the desired result.
