    Naughty Getting the ball rolling sharing glass techniques

    No doubt this place is a library of glass blowing. Whether it's tech or ins and outs of this industry, there is a lot of info.

    So I'm encouraging those who search and find meaningful answers to their questions, to share the insight that helped them. Link the threads you find helpful and briefly tell why.

    This is an attempt to make this place about glass and learning about it.

    I'm sure there are tons of users who do look things up. I just don't think they make it everyone's biz. Which is good but...what's the harm when the only new feed is bs...lol

    Please share knowledgeable threads and info here and help us all become better glass blowers

    *of or denoting art produced in a straightforward style that deliberately rejects sophisticated artistic techniques and has a bold directness resembling a child's work, typically in bright colors with little or no perspective.

    your linework is naive maybe try some fuming?

    Here is one about double layering. Been meaning to do this for a long time. Just need to make some half clear stack/prep.
