- By picking a design and cutting glass according to the design, I was able to make the plate using transparent, opaque, and striped glass with glass stringers and frit balls. And in order to create a plate shape the glass design was built on a sheet of clear glass and then put into the kiln on a chosen mold. One thing that I should've done was to clean the glass. By cleaning the glass the brown specs on the glass could've been avoided.
