We love Paul Tarlow and Helios Glass Studio in Austin, Texas. He shares a wealth of information online as well as at his studio. There are many classes with fabulous guest instructors so you can have glass experiences you’ll always remember. I have yet to wander into his place but we communicate online from time to time. I regularly receive his email newsletters, as should you, and noted in the last one this firelogger.com posts. The most recent had a cool little tip about taking square metal tube and cutting small pieces to make small dams to test colors in for casting. Great idea! That made me look at his other posts.
