Nancy Allen creates one-of-a-kind fused glass collages using "enhanced"glass pieces woven into intricate visual textures and designs. These works derive their names from dances due to the steps, movement and moods that are created. Allen, a former art teacher and jewelry-maker, typically begins each piece with an idea for a design. She then makes sheets of enhanced or decorated glass using confetti (thin pieces of broken glass), stringers (long thin threads of glass), noodles (flant thin strings of glass) and frits (fine, medium or coarse ground glass).
