Lari and I both attended a Matthew Patton workshops last fall.
He uses glass in his wonderful pieces.
He is in the Seattle area.
If you have the opportunity to go to one of his workshops you will
learn a lot including his glass techniques.
See some of his work at:

Yup it will definitely run onto the shelf. Been there done that. I now
have a small collection of glass drops. If you don't want it to run you
can't fire above 1200F. I read Steve's process, but I think it leaves a =
lot
to the imagination. I use glass in my ^6 slab pieces and also in the bot=
tom
of bowls. If the glass is not contained or even when the piece is not le=
vel
in the kiln it has a way or running out. I use the glass in the glaze
firing not the bisque, although you can. The glass reacts with the glaze=
,
smoothes out well and is shiny. In the bisque it tends to pull away from
the sides and remains matt. I have also used it in Raku. The tricky par=
t
with Raku is getting it out of the kiln. Otherwise it works fine. When =
the
glass is on the bottom of bowls I let people know they are no longer
considered "functional". I put the glass in an unglazed area, but bring =
the
glaze up to the edge. The glass will pull some of the colorants into the
glass so keep this in mind when you choose the color of the glass you are
going to use. Just re-read your question and this is definitely more tha=
n
you asked. Sorry...Maybe someone else will need the info. Good luck.
Maybe you can get Steve to respond to this. I would like to know how he
does it to.

Came accross an interesting technique, by Steven Branfman, <
http://www.potterymaking.org/glasstext.html. =A0=A0Am in the process of m=
aking a
vessel; have the glass in place on the sides of the vessel, and have
expanded
it from the inside. When I bisque fire it, wont the glass run down the si=
des
and onto the shelf? =A0Have only worked with glass on flat pieces.
=A0=A0=A0=A0Would appreciate any pointers anyone may have. =A0Thanks. PGB=
