There are a ton of Michiganders, just not as many on the forum anymore. Jankyglass, Bowlpusher, Mr Whale Dick and UmaJulz are all still on the forum from time to time. Some of my favorite artists are in the mitten. Keep an eye on the Michigan Glass Project events so y'all can meet some more local friends.

Really? That is actually pretty sweet. And the Michigan glass project sounds interesting. I have actually never heard of it. I will have to look it up.

Hey My name is christian, i live in MICHIGAN specifically Clinton Township
I own an online store where I sell glass pipes, chillums, bubblers, grinders, wood pipes, metal pipes, etc
My store just started very recently but traffic has been slow although I'm building sales on etsy!!!
If your a glass blower in Michigan message me maybe we can make some transactions!!! I usually spend at least $200.
Biggest thing of all I'm 18!!! but have wanted an online store for the last few years and now I'm old enough so i started in October!

Do you go to University of Michigan? If so I can't help you. I graduated from Ohio State. 😄

I'm Charles. I make marbles, I've only been on the torch for a short 240 hours but am extremely grateful to have found the medium.

**glassdocnc** · 11-16-2014, 06:13 AM

Hi Charles. Welcome to TMP.

Which triad on the east coast does your name refer to?

**Charles_marble** · 11-16-2014, 06:37 AM

None. It was a personal reference to the relationship I was in at the time I created this account... will probably be changing it to match my iG account.

**hilltop13** · 11-17-2014, 01:37 PM

Heyo, I'm Cal. Been on the torch for about a year and a half out of Southern Oregon. I am Dorian Bouhuys's apprentice at Orian Glass. Finally getting an account setup here.
