Glass fusing

Fused and kiln-formed glass sculpture.

Glass fusing is the joining together of pieces of glass at high temperature, usually in a kiln.[1][2] This is usually done roughly between 700 °C (1,292 °F) and 820 °C (1,510 °F),[3][4] and can range from tack fusing at lower temperatures, in which separate pieces of glass stick together but still retain their individual shapes,[5] to full fusing at higher ones, in which separate pieces merge smoothly into one another.[6]
