    Made this at the class i took a month or two ago. Wish I had the cash for another or to go to school. They make that shit to retarded I swear. I'm long beach guy. Been wanting to blow glass for a minute now. But it was sunken in when I walked into Ziggys Smoke Shop. Dudes got some fucking art on their shelves. Click image for larger version.

    Hey Folks, complete newbie here. Figured I'd drop in and say hi.

    I'm just starting my journey with glass and the wealth of information as well as passion from the people here is really inspiring. Hopefully I'll be able to contribute on the same level at some point.
    Anyway, Looking forward to learning and growing with the rest of ya, have a good one.

    Hi, my name is Marjorie, and I am a hobbiest right with lampworking, but am accumulating so much jewelry from it that I am considering starting to sell some. Any advice about getting started with Etsy or EBay?

    I have been involved with working glass since 1998. I owned a company in Everett, Washington called "Everett Glass Casting"(1999). My first experiences seeing flameworking were in Marysville, WA and in Seattle(near Green Lake). I was involved with glasswork at Pratt Fine Arts Center in Seattle. I have been self employed or under contract since I was 9 and flameworking fit right in with my independent spirit. I also could appreciate that THERE IS NO WAY TO PUT A PRICE ON FINE GLASS ART...

    Greetings! I'm a newbie, having taken my 1st boro workshop class in August 2019. So far, I've taken a "boro 1" night class, and a weekend "hollow boro workshop". I'm already planning on investing in my own lil workshop in the garage.

    Currently, I lay out print ads for a real estate company, and have a 360 virtual tour business (though I'm not a great salesperson), and I'm planning on making a career change.

    These are what I'm most proud of at this point:

    My name is Avery, im a machinist from the Detroit area looking to get into glass blowing as a hobby. I really want to get into small glass sculptures, maybe about 3x3 inches made of soft or hard glass. There's tons of info on these forums, but if anyone could point me in the right direction for finding what i need to do what i plan on doing i would really appreciate it. Im excited to join the community!
