I don’t spend enough time on stained glass and I apologize for that. So when I saw that D&L had a number of specials in their mailing list for stained glass I had to share it with all of you. There are specials on tools and books and magazines…they also have a deal on the new geometric bead mold from …

Thanks again to Daily Art Muse. I’ve been meaning to post this days ago but there was that class I just wrote about…playing catch up right now. Anyway, this is the cutest funkiest fun lampwork I’ve seen in a long time. It’s from Karen Woodward and it’s not about beads…I’m kind of over beads right now (did I just …

I just finished a 4 day class with Roger Thomas and what a fabulous experience that was. His work is so beautiful and he’s a great teacher. I left the class with so many ideas brewing in my brain it’s almost scary. Check out his web site and then sign up for one of his classes. He’s based in the …

More bead making fun from Colour de Verre. This time they’re Geometric beads. Another cool mold that coolks the glass in your kln. A little frit or powder and you’ve got sets of perfect beads…they come in squares and triangles. So add those to your round bead molds and you’ve got a fine set of goodies you can create. …

So I find myself in the position of having to bid on and quite possibly produce a custom glass bathroom vanity countertop…whoo hoo! So as I wander around the interwebs I look at what’s out there. I found Think Glass, based in Canada and the glass they produce. So amazing! Large scale counters…some beautifully simple and some artistic and …

Just love getting newsletters from the different glass sellers so I can pass good information onto all of you! This one is from D&L and they’re offering specials on glass from Uroboros and Milon Townsend as well as tutorials from NO Days (my favorite adhesives for glass!) and Dicro Slide. You can never see too many tutorials! Or get deals …

Here’s a couple things from Bullseye Glass. It’s time for the new catalog! Yea ha!! I know that when it does show up my glass buddies and I get so excited! “Did you get yours?” You have to sign up for it to receive it…no problem. The other thing is that the Portland Resource Center is having a sale. …

I’m still in the glass mood here so I found a great video from the Carol Duvall show on HGTV featuring Ryan Blythe. Great video interview and it gives you a chance to watch glass blowing. Who doesn’t want to do that? The finished chandelier is just lovely. And when you’re done watching the video go on over to …

I’ve been playing with glass blowing lately…mostly with borosilicate glass. I keep getting requests at my studio for classes so I figured I’d better get good at it. I’ve dabbled and played but now I’m actually studying. Don’t I have enough glass techniques to know about? (not really, you can’t get enough glass, can you?) So I thought I’d explore …

I mentioned this a few posts back and now The Glass Quarterly Hot Sheet is mentioning it. Bullseye’s got a new show and it’s going to be awesome! It’s Facture: Artists at the Forefront of Painterly Glass. The opening is tonight and I wish I could teleport myself to Portland right now. This blog post talks about the different backgrounds …

I was turned onto Boyce Lundstrom’s web site by my favorite glass lady, Leigh Adams. So now I’m passing this onto you guys. She did this the other day and I found myself distracted by another site that I ended up writing about, glassfacts.info. So now I’m posting about Boyce. Besides being one of the founding members of Bullseye glass, …

The good people over at fusedglass.org have this cool site called glassfacts.info that give you massive amounts of information about glass. Like they didn’t do that already. Fusedglass.org is one of the most informative sites about glass around. And we are thankful for them. So back to glassfacts…I was checking out some more historical information about Boyce Lundstrom and I …

I’ve been exploring a more painterly technique in glass and look up to the artists in the next show at Bullseye Gallery in Portland. I’ve even written about a couple of them including Kari Minnick and Michael Janis. Also included in this show is Martha Pfanschmidt, Ted Sawyer, and Abi Spring. The work of these artists is so inspiring. I’ve …

Sheila Morley started a blog about tutorials…she posted a link for a murrini tutorial. I wish she had posted more…I like tutorials. They’re usually fun projects and they’re great to share. Check out the one she shared…it’s from Jet Age Tutorials in Tucson, AZ. We’ve got layers of tutorials going here. Love the name of this site. And the tutorial …

Happy Boxing Day! Anyway…time for a non-Christmas ornament tutorial. Today it’s a mosaic table from Instructables. Love that sight!! It’s Starry Night and make’s a cool table. This tutorial starts by building the table that the mosaic will be applied to. You don’t necessarily need to do that but why not? Then you end up with a completely handmade …

Thanks to Daily Art Muse for profiling Jeff Zimmer and his lovely glass (scroll down). He studied with Michael Janis over at Washington Glass School, someplace I’d love to visit, and has been creating the most wonderful glass art since. He layers his glass with a bit of the final image on each piece of glass. I just love this …

This glass casting project I’ve been working on can be a pill sometimes. It’s a large piece, 26″ long and for me the holy grail is fingers and toes. You see it’s a diver. When he’s complete he’s stunning…even incomplete he’s pretty cool. But overall this project makes the average challenge seem like a cake walk. Normally I steam out …

Steve Immerman’s glass work is amazing. And he’s sharing some of his techniques. Strip cut construction. The results are awesome. Makes me want to run off and cut glass. And then construct with it. He takes you completely through the process including firing schedule and cold working. This is an intermediate to advanced tutorial but it gives the newbies …

I love reactive glass. French vanilla and turquoise or silver or any other copper bearing glass…and then there’s Reactive Cloud and Ice. So very very cool. Well Bullseye has a great Quick Tip using French Vanilla, silver foil and Light Aquamarine frit. The silver reacts with the French Vanilla…so does the Aquamarine…and the Aquamarine over the silver is so very …

I posted a mercury glass tutorial awhile back and found another one today that looks super easy and very timely for the holiday decorating season…it’s over at the Make Newsletter and looks very easy and the results are just lovely. It’s the kind of tutorial that can take a bunch of thrift store finds and turn them into pretty decorations …

I went over to the Hang Your Glass web site to get the glue application instructions and found a new product that looks very cool. They’re nesting stand offs. What that means is that you attach a stand off to a piece of glass and the other side of it to another piece of glass and then you can attach …

The color selection is awesome. And the tiles are recycled. What more could you ask for mosaic people? They’re at Maryland Mosaic you can get them for all of your mosaic projects. The tiles are made from 98% consumer waste glass that has been ground into a powder and mixed with pigments. The color selection is…I already mentioned that. But …

This one’s for the lampworkers out there. The freshest newsletter from The Flow magazine has just arrived in my email box and that really makes me smile. It gives me a chance to see what the other lampworkers are doing out there. They also have information listed on upcoming issues and contribution deadlines in case you want to submit something …

I’ve got a theme I’m starting here. Christmas ornaments…’tis the season. I’ve used that line already. Anyway, since it is the right time of year I’m looking around the interwebs for easy ornaments that almost anyone can make. These do require a kiln since they are fused…over at Craftster they were mass producing them for give aways for a xmas …
