I just got back from Las Vegas and the annual Glass Craft and Bead Expo show. I’ve been there many times but this was the first visit where I was able to really walk around and around and around and check everything out. And I was able to meet people I write about and businesses with goodies I rave about! …

Hang Your Glass First showed the glass dragon by Kate MacLeod and made you wonder how did they hang it? Well they have since sent out an email explaining with a picture how it was hung. They also mentioned the quantity and types of hardware used. They used 9 super duty stand offs and 4 nesting stand offs. Check the …

There are classes…there are beads…tools…equipment! And of course glass! It’s Glass Craft and Bead Expo and it’s this weekend in Las Vegas. Are you going? I know I am. And I’m so looking forward to seeing bead buddies and glass folk that I only get to see one or two times a year. This year I’ll be at the show …

They’ve had Aventurine Green frit for quite awhile. Now they’ve added Aventurine Blue! It’s almost black but it’s not…and it adds a sparkle to your project. I’m looking forward to getting some of this to work with in some of the powder/frit work I’ve been doing. It would be great to add to a sky if you’re working on …

Wow!! I was wandering around Facebook…like I don’t have glass to work on. And I found a post about Jun Kaneko. I ran over to his site (how else do you describe it?). His work takes my breath away. So beautiful. Simple. Sublime. You must see for yourself. He works in a number of mediums and all of his …

Daily Art Muse strikes again. This time it’s Lanny Bergner a sculptor that actually works mostly with wite. But he uses glass frit colorize his pieces and they are just awesome. So that’s why he gets a big mention here. We all need to see new ways to incorporate glass in other materials. This is where true inspiration can come …

I love Double Helix glass! I sell quite a bit of the beads I make with their glass so I’m always thrilled when they get a new color. This one is called Notos. They’re describing it as super luster with subtle blue-grey-green tones. It looks lovely. Can’t wait to get my hands on some. Hopefully there will be some in …

It’s a crazy concept…the glass house, but when you see the pictures of the houses in this story you can’t help but say, wow! It started with Phillip Johnson and that lovely little glass house inspired many more architects. Not the most practical house but they sure are amazing to look at…Forbes provided us with this story.…

I like to refer to Bullseye in Portland as “heaven on earth”. Between all of the glass for sale, the factory making the glass and the research and education area, there is everything any glass fiend could want. Taking classes there is such a pleasure. They have fresh classes listed so if you can get on over and check them …

I found this story over at The Glass Quarterly Hot Sheet about Chinese Artist, Hu Bing’s installation over at Prow Art Space at the Flatiron Building in Manhattan. She’s using broken bottles for her installation. Te show is called “Shattered Glass Sheer Transformation” and she’s using broken bottles and resin to sculpt the piece. The art space is a new …

The class I took recently from Roger Thomas had us making a landscape piece with birch trees in it. We used a streaky glass by Bullseye that is clear and black. It worked really well when backed with french vanilla. Well I noticed that in this recent batch of Saturday Glass from Bullseye there’s a wispy black and white that …

The artists that are profiled over at Daily Art Muse are always so interesting. And Wendy Newhofer’s work is more than interesting. It’s gorgeous. She’s a glass artist that utilizes metals between clear glass to achieve the beautiful colors and effects in her work. Her subject matter is mostly inspired by nature. To get a full idea of what she …

Over at Elle Decor they have a great pictorial of gorgeous glass and metal by French designer Chris Come. Here’s what Elle Decor has to say…
French designer Christophe Côme has a long list of fans. Couturier Karl Lagerfeld was an early devotee, furnishing his bathroom in Paris with one of Côme’s signature iron-and-glass cabinets. Another is decorator Michael …

I just received a copy of the new Ebook Fused Glass Trough and Mesh Melt from over fusedglass.org. I feel like a very lucky girl and can’t wait to get these things made so I can expand my glass palette. The possibilities are endless. And once you go through the book you’ll see that this is just the beginning of …

The first time I witnessed a roll up was at Urban Glass in Brooklyn. It was absolutely amazing to watch. The piece being made was a very large, and would become the globe for a lamp. I never saw the finished piece but the process was forever stuck in my mind. I used to think I really wanted to do …

It’s a double Bullseye day…Emerge finalist have been announced. Head on over and check out the work. It’s happy sad for me since I applied but didn’t make it into the finals. I have to say though, I did sell the piece of art I entered so that’s good…best of luck to the artists chosen. It’s a lovely body …

The graphic artist in me really loves bringing graphics to my glass. This class over at Bullseye in Portland and in Santa Fe shows how to do it with powder glass and screens. It’s coming to the Northern California location as soon as that location of Bullseye opens (Can’t wait. I can drive there.). The class is taught by Stacy …

I’m looking around the interwebs at handmade glass tiles since I have a line and I’m trying to see what else is out there in the world. So I found Glass Fancy, a blog devoted to glass fusing. And she has very cool goodies. Check out the ring in the picture. Graphic goodness!! Not only are there pendants and …

We’ve been very fortunate with the posts over at Daily Art Muse. Yesterday there was Mirella Foffano’s jewelry made with borosilicate and murrano glass, as well as rubber. Really lovely work. It’s always wonderful to see what artists do with the materials a lot of us wok with. Also check out Mirella’s web site……

I can’t thank Daily Art Muse enough. They educate me on new artists everyday. And here is Susan Silver Brown, who casts glass sculptures. Gorgeous cast glass sculptures. I love this kind of work. Susan is an Arizona based glass artist that travels the world to find her inspiration. She starts with clay and goes through the complicated and …

Check out the tutorial from Colour de Verre on how to use dichroic sheet to make their pendants. It’s a double firing process but you get really perfect looking pendants. The patterns line up just right and they’re simple to make. It works with all of the different molds they have like their round beads, tribals and puffed pendants. Imagine …

Quite a few of my recent posts profiling glass artists have been blowers or lampworkers or casters or fusers…not mosaic artists. So here is Brit Hammer, a mosaic artist I found on the web site, emptyeasel.com. I personally love mosaics that are graphic not necessarily pictoral. And her work is awesome. And the colors are what make it so …

There’s a show out in Palm Springs that I want to check out…Swimming Pools in Southern California that’s part of the Pacific Standard Time series of shows across Southern California. So I wanted to get more information about what else was being shown at the museum and saw that they have a glass show that’s on going. Another fabulous reason …

June 13-17, 2012 is the 42nd annual Glass Art Society Conference and it’s being held in Toledo, OH. 50 years ago the Art Glass Movement officially started in Toledo so GAS figured this would be the appropriate place to hold their conference. And if you check out the roster of glass artists speaking and demonstrating you too would agree. I’m …

I just love Daily Art Muse. They bring to light so many wonderful artist of every discipline you can imagine. And when it’s glass they profile I can be assured the art work is fabulous. And here is another artist for you all to learn about. Her name is Amber Cowan and she’s a lampworker…but she’s not making beads. …
