Hi:
I noticed most folks on here are lampworkers/flameworkers, making things in a torch. I mostly do casting but do use a torch on some things after they are cast. Here's an example.

I am completely computer illiterate. I don't even know if this message will ever be read. I'm just trying to get the hang of this web site, there seems to be a lot of history here already. Anyway, I have been lampworking for over ten years now and it feels like I've just scratched the surface. So I say What Up to all my glass blowing brothers and sisters and I hope to be hearing from you soon.http://www.GlassPipes.org/NoStress

And, that truck is sweet!!

Hey, I've been at it for thirty-seven years, I was a human lathe before ya'll was born. Ha-ha, Roger in Japan. PS any AGI buildings named after you?

**mer** · 04-16-2008, 09:31 AM

welcome!

**Know Ego** · 04-16-2008, 11:40 PM

Hey Roger, you are a inspiration and a living legend in the lampworking community. I have been following your work and using your color for many years. The balance and form your pieces represent is the basis for perfection in this growing glass revolution. I hope i wasn't laying it on too thick, I'm just a big fan! It's cool to see you on this site, safe travels in Japan.

**roger parramore** · 04-17-2008, 12:35 AM

hey thanks for the nice words. No matter how long we are all in the game it's nice to hear them!

**Getonthepartybus** · 04-18-2008, 11:53 AM

Hey guys, Leland here aka Getonthepartybus!. I've been on this forum watching and waiting for awhile but just recently put up my first post!

I live in Baltimore, MD and manage a Hookah Lounge. I haven't been working glass for about 2 years now, but extremely on and off because it's hard to find people to work with. I think I finally solved that problem though, as I just finished building my own studio in my garage. So now I'll be able to rage with the rest of you!

I love glass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**Paradise Waits** · 05-14-2008, 03:55 PM

Hey now! Mark here, torchin' since '97, base of operations is the Golden State/Cali., but I range far & wide (old tour head). ; )

I've never encountered such a wealth of talent and generosity as I've seen around here. Thanks to everyone who's contributed to the GLDG knowledge base!

Hello,
my name is matt titheridge and im about a month into this lampworking hobby. i live in the mountains in rossland, BC, canada, and work as a welder in a fabrication shop. the convenient use of my welding account to cover fuels and experience blacksmithing made it seem like an easy transfer to glass. i have quickly learned that this is not the case, and working glass is different and an entirely different craft (fuck yeah, i love it)... i look forward to learning more and perhaps meeting some other crafts people on the northern west coast!
