Not to threadjack or anything- but do you guys have any tips for painting herbies? I just picked a Herbie not too long ago and was thinking about painting it. Is it something you would do yourself or...

In case anyone is on the fence about this class, I just wanted to give my 2 cents. I took Robert's Networking class last summer at the Pittsburg Glass Center and it was great experience. It really...

You can get college credits from classes at the Studio of the Corning Museum of Glass. They get transferred though Elmiria Community College. I think it's- 3 credits for a one week class and 4...

Hey-

Im looking forward to all the events happening in Tucson. Im headn out from Philly to do the Best Bead Show. Come say whats up! Im booth H-6, Vulcan Glassworks. See ya soon! -Matt

Everything Jay has said is spot on!

A few other tips- if you are going to do a U shape or have tables on both sides of your entry, you want to leave at least a 6 ft entry way. This allows two...

If your doing this with smallish diam rod, you can draw out the shape you want on a large piece of graphite or kiln shelf. Just tape your rod to the drawing surface and slowly bend the glass a little...

its not boro, but it may work for your needs- http://www.americanspecialtyglass.com/blue-landscape-glass-p-59.html

I do my ornaments a little differently. I start with a one handled point and do my design work,etc on the point. I then puff it out into the shape I want. I keep a jar of premade loops with little...

I am interested in doing the Best Bead Show in Tuscon this year. I have a few questions, hopefully some of you who have done the show in the past can chime in!

-What percentage of your sales are...

Here is another style of caps I came across a while back. I dont know where to find these shaker tops, but if anyone knows please share! I have a feeling they are custom made... I like the this o...

I use wood trays filled with rice, lentils, etc. Its a sharp, minimalist display and it allows people to pick up the glass without fear of breaking it- the rice makes a landing for a potential fall!...

Fire Mountain gems is the cheapest source I have found. I think they do overnight and will ship out the same day if you get your order in early-...

I picked up an 18 amp rectifier on ebay not too long ago- overkill for what I want it for, but it was a steal. I am concerned that the copper is going to deposit too quickly as the lowest voltage I...

Hey,

Im signed up for the Robert Mickelson- Networking for Fun and Profit class, August 1-5 at PGC. If anyone on the board is taking the class and is interested in splitting a hotel room for the...

I recently upgraded my ventilation and no longer need my old fan.

Its a 1500 cfm gable fan and is mounted to a wood frame which fits into a standard window frame. It has louvers on the outside...

I have a studio in Fishtown (just north of center city). I dont have extra bench space, but you are welcome to come by and hang out.

Stuff to do in Philly-

National Liberty Museum- great...

Yeah- the "cocoon" in the center is hollow and you can see where a point was snapped off on the bottom of it. The thing that really blows my mind is how perfect all the stringers are.... The are...

I thought I would share a picture of this really cool ornament that I bought in Lauscha a few years back. I am clueless as to how it was pulled off...

Its all soft glass made on the torch. There...

Last time I got cobalt profile from UST, they were pretty much giving it away. It was .50 a lb, came out to something like 20 bucks for a case of 44. Maybe they are planning on discontinuing it?

This is a really good article about ventilation http://mikeaurelius.wordpress.com/ventilation-primer/

I recently went to my local HVAC supply house and asked them to put the word out to some of...

Not quite Egyptian status- I thought the first one was from 1900 but I think its really 1990. The second one is 1928. Both Lauscha soft glass.

After watching Jason make his mayfly at cmog studio in 2000, I had given him ninja status in my own book! 10 years overdue buddy, you da man and are great asset to the glass community!

If they are reasonably priced, Id buy a bunch...
