Neil LaSarte, 29, currently residing in central OR. Formerly Neil113 on the old board, time for a new name that is a little more awesome! Torching for almost 3 years, wow time flies. I've been focused on mainly solid stuff until recently, right now I'm all over the place. I work 2 jobs and work glass about 20 hours a week. You can see my very rookie website at www(dot)euphoriaglassf<dotcom>. I know it needs fixing, but thanks for looking

i'm Chris A., 36, from melbourne australia, and i've been making love to glass since 1990. a few years ago i finished my master of fine arts and finally my sh*t is coming together. i started out in scientific glass, but it did my head in after a repetetive 2 years and i went to work in a bar serving drinks for a while. however, what i learned during that time has proven invaluable, and i recommend learning from a sci-blower if you can. while at university i also did 7 years of furnace blowing ... something else i recommend to every flameworker i meet ... to do a stint in the hotshop.
here's a page i usually direct people to, and use until i get mine proper one set up. some of the work is in progress, etc ... i do what i can to update the images, but usually it's a little out of date

Hey everyone.... my name is Leslie. I am in Traverse City, MI. I came through the ranks from doing fused glass to doing soft glass beads. Now I pretty much just work in boro. I make pendants and beads still to make money, but I am working on my blowing skills to do more bottles, vases, and goblets.

Hey everyone. My Name's Ed and I blow glass in Chicago. I've only been a glassblower for 2 years. So, I'm still learning a lot. But, I try to get behind a torch whenever I can. It's soothing. Anyways, I just joined this board today.
