PyroChixRock:

Known as the "[http://www.talkglass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7983 Chuck Norris of Glassblowing]," Nomad has skills that put yours to shame. Whatever you come up with, he's done it better, and way before you ever did. He makes [[frit]] with his teeth and melts it in with his rage. It is rumored that he is such a rasta, Bob Marley wore a Nomad shirt. Multiple sources have confirmed that he is so good at [[fuming]], he has been sponsored by [[silver]]. Rumored to be the fraternal twin of [[Sinbad]].

EDP

Effetre brand (104 COE) handpulled opaque purple glass. The glass devits easily which can generally be treated with a blast of high heat and quick cooling as you finish the bead. Etching will also reduce this effect.

Graal

'''Graal'''

Graal is a decorative technique that was developed around 1915. The name Graal, chosen by Albert Ahlin was a literary reference to the chalice that supposedly held Christ's blood.

''Graal in off-hand glassblowing''

In off-hand glassblowing the technique consists of blowing a blank of cased glass into an open receptacle. After cooling, the blank can be carved or etched with sand or acid to create the desired decoration. The piece is then re-heated and blown into the desired shape.

''Graal in lampworking''

In lampworking, a tube is blown out and wrapped with colored rod or powder. Then another layer (or multiple layers)of powder is added. After cooling, the blank can be carved or etched with sand or acid to create the desired decoration. The piece is then re-heated and blown into the desired shape.

With solid work, a piece is covered with powder, allowed to cool and then sandblasted. It can then be reheated to melt the design in smooth.

''Encasing Graal''

To encase graal, such as in a marble or paperweight, make a colored disc of glass and add a layer of glass powder. Once it has cooled a design can be sandblasted into the disc. Re-heat in the kiln and add clear lenses to encase the design.

Glasshole

2007-01-19T02:17:21Z

PyroChixRock:

Glasshole is a general term for someone who works glass, who is also an a**hole. See how that works?

Being labeled a "glasshole" is subjective but could be a result of many reasons like these:

- Thinks (s)he is better than 95% of all glassblowers.

- Will not talk to other glassblowers about glass

- Has a superior, 'know it all' attitude

- Knows all the glass techniques

- Knows and has used every color including the experimental ones

- Looks down on anyone who does not know as much as (s)he

- Needs to learn nothing new as a result of knowing everything already
