All About Us
Inspiring Love For The Art Of Hot Glass
In 2018, Allora Glass and Art was founded by Kim Jensen and Elisan Fitch who had been dreaming of creating a fun business together, one that revolved around their main passion: glass art! Our collection is a labor of love - cut glass and kiln formed art. Browse our site and find your next piece today.
What Is Fused Glass?
Fused glass is glass that has been fired in a kiln at a range of high temperatures from 593 °C to 816 °C. There are 3 main distinctions for temperature application and the resulting effect on the glass. First different pieces of glass are fused together. Firing in the lower ranges of these temperatures 593–677 °C is called slumping and this is the process of molding into the desired shape.
Glass is notoriously difficult to manage and the outcome is sometimes hard to predict. Therefore, all pieces are unique.

We Are More Than Hot Glass Artists
We also work with mosiac, painting and stained glass. If a medium looks fun, we will probably be working with it. If it looks good when it is done, we will put it in the store.
