Please pardon my obvious ignorance. Does this mean there will be a Warm Glass @BE in November and also a WGW in or around Washington, DC, in mid September? Whatever it turns out to be, thank you, Lani, and BE for being so kind to all of us. I want to work doubly hard on my entry so maybe I'll get a...

That was the first year Lani. Last year it was an opportunity to be mistaken for a hooker while walking over to the connection in that outfit - and of course to swipe a Gerber Daisy from you Sheesh! Of course - how'd I ever mistake a streetwalker for a cat-fight? So, how do you intend to amuse us i...

OK, from private emails I can tell I've managed to confuse a few newcomers to the board. WHAT IS/WAS WG@BE? It was/is an annual competition/exhbition of kilnformed glass that that has been co-hosted by Bullseye Glass and Brad's Warm Glass board since 2001. You can read about how the last competition...

"Have attitude, will travel" Crazy Eddie will go anywhere, do anything. For blood. Watch for him on Lake Michigan with his stash of Dramameanies.

Firstly, let me say that I’m awed at Brad’s stamina at mounting yet another conference! And encouraged (as always) by the tremendous positive response from all of you on the board. Prior to Brad’s post about WGW2, he and I (and Brock) had discussed the possibility of BE hosting WG@BE3 in Portl...

Hi Sussex Bex: By “south eastâ€

This is a fascinating topic. I agree with Charlie that a good place to start is with the information (there’s lots of it) available for float glass. However, most kilnformed glass (unless created solely of float glass such as Bert is doing) is a very different beast than float. As soon as you fuse...

I’m herewith proposing that Bullseye rename its Research and Education Department “Resorts and Educationâ€

SENSITIVE, ME?????? What are you trying to say, Pete? Go on, spit it out, I always knew you hated us. Jealous that you're not making color anymore and we are?

nyahnyahnyahnyahnyahnyah!

Cynthia, sorry. Duh. I'm looking at the long version of the catalog. You're looking at the short version (which we call the "brochure") - Lani

Honestly, I can’t give anyone a technical explanation for why cad/sel reds, yellows, & oranges don’t increase in saturation in relation to an increase in thickness (in the cold sheet) to the degree comparable with most other glasses. From experience I just know that they do. You can see exam...

Cynthia, Maybe I'm not sure what you're experiencing: reds being less saturated in color in a thinner section? If so, this seems strange because a curiousity of cad/sel reds, oranges and yellows is that they DON'T reduce (or increase) in saturation like many other colors in relation to their relativ...

Thanks, Cynthia, I feel like a first class citizen again. (Who's looking forward to your move our way!)

“Also, like Tony said...can't get Spectrum in red opal and other colors anymore, but Uro makes them. Same environmental issues but manufactured in different states? Is that why Uro and BE can make red but Spectrum can't? (regardless of COE).â€

Wow, Patricia, that’s one glowing review! I know that Vitrum sold out Roger’s classes pretty quickly so I’m guessing that your experience has been typical and word has gotten around. About a dozen years ago while Roger was working here at Bullseye he showed me a teaching method that tremendous...

Re the “make and takeâ€

A big Thank You to everyone who has contributed to this thread. It has been immensely informative to me as we pull together BECon. If I can sum up a bit of what I got back from you all: Amy, Bert, Leslie,….Good teachers give tools and inspiration; they teach problem solving rather than tricks. Ame...

A number of people have emailed me off the board about our upcoming conference for teachers. Many had some really interesting ideas about what is needed in the way of teaching within our community. Many also relayed both good and bad experiences. I found the stories truly enlightening and wished som...

Hi Sara, I'm finally back in the wet-n-windy Northwest and am comparing notes with our crew who went to Vegas for Glass Craft Expo while my team was in South Florida. You're right, of course, GCE was buzzing and the excitement was largely about smaller work, but still largely dominated by kilnformin...
