Hey everybody! I've used friends accounts for long enough and think it's about time to introduce myself. My name is Josh and I'm a glassblower from Tucson. I started blowing glass in 2005 in my backyard on a national with my roomates. I progressed and started to work on the lathe for Urban Myth in 2006. When Urban Myth dissolved, the owners of Graffix approached me (and Riley) and asked to restart their glass line. I worked as the senior glassblower and trained the staff there for over 3 years, but needed to move on last March. After that I started working with a local glass company, but was not to my liking. As of now I'm building a shop with 3 benches and 2 lathes. We signed the lease on Friday, and have a 2nd city inspection on Monday!! Wish me luck and thank you for all supporting such a great site. :D:chilling::D
