here is my third try on a bubbler set, i am really happy how this came out of my kiln this morning, i need to practice my shaping a little bit....i hope you like the pictures

the bub has a 3 hole diffuser, and a matching slide with a little piece of moldavite on the rim of the bowl, i will make a matching curve for it the next days, oh i forgot its amazon night

i need to make better terminations, can anyone give me a tip?



kind regards frank

Hi Steak,

Why do you say that there are no Glass blowers and no courses here in Germany?
As you definitly know this isn´t true.
I don´t mean myselfe only but others more.Some very good people like Julie Riggs even came from the states to Lauscha/Thuringia to learn from experts.
And you "forgot" to mention the schools we have in Hadamar,Zwiesel and Lauscha.You yourselfe have told that you apply for a place in Hadamar,didn´t you?And did you really forget all the questions you asked in the HAG forum that have been answered by me?
Hey,what´s the matter with you,dude?

And by the way,no welcome to the dark side here ?

so long
Glassmax Axel

hi axel, i dont understand you posting, i was friendly the whole time, never said something negative in the internet and now youre gonna jump at me? sorry i dont get it.

to clear this up , tehre are several glassblowers in germany and several schools maybe i had not enough info about that at that time (but really, its not comparable to courses/classes you can get from top notch artists in the usa, cause theese schools teach mostly scientific glassblowing), and i was thankfull at the HAG for the answers you gave me, ...wasnt I ?


but thanks for bumpin my thread to the front page anyway :D
kind regards

here is a vid , i need to upload the pics
i hope you like it

kind regards frank
