Most of my glass time is spent doing lampwork, making glass beads and for that I use 104 glass. The Italian stuff, Moretti or Effetre or Vetrofond with some American made Double Helix thrown in. When I fuse glass I use Bullseye glass. But Bullseye is more than a brand of glass. It’s a learning facility and studio and experience onto itself. They live for glass, with glass and are all about making it better for all the glass folk out there.
Every 2 years they throw a conference, BE Con, and 2009 was recently held. One of my glass buddies, Mickey Stuewe, attended this years conference and I plan to speak to her to find out what she learned and experienced there. I’ll post that conversation here. In the meantime, go to Bullseye web site and see all that they have to offer. They’re in Portland, Oregon and offer classes and put on exhibits regularly. You can also find really great information on the web site about glass and fusing as well as the other techniques they teach and know alot about.
And of course there is their selection of glass and other glass products…oh the colors. Yum! And the variety. Sheet, rods, frit in different grades, billet. What to do, what to do? I’m nuts for glass and if you are too you need to check out Bullseye.
