ditto on kiln and solution.

Rodney- saw through the whole thing, don't try to break it, it'll take less than 5 seconds per cut. Marty

I just read Milon Townsend's Making and Marketing Better Artwork and wanted input from the WGers on the potential conflict between selling (at full retail) on your website and selling through galleries. My preference is to use the site purely as a referral, but I do have retail prices listed. Has an...

I wonder if their lease is oral, too.
Does the IRS let them just call in?

Re a good strip cutter: Judith sells a great one. It may seem expensive but if you do a lot of strip cutting, you'll kick yourself for not having bought one before. Re the comments on divide-n-conquer cheatin technology: I find it easier to make all the scores first and then break/run them. With 1/4...

Gale- I think it's a matter of evolution- you keep doing your bread and jam work and it takes less and less of your thought time, so you start thinking "what if I did this....?" and you take some time to do it. Try to dedicate one day a week to experiments. Or take a sabbatical from produc...

I've got a soft spot for Rube Goldberg, myself.

thanks, Charlie!

When you run the score, you can control the way it spreads with unequal pressure on each side of the score. On a straight line, if you move your breaking (running?) pliers a millimeter off center, the line will start as a diagonal (seen through a cross-section of the glass) giving a flare to the edg...

I sometimes would solder with a damp cloth underneath the panel, it seemed to draw heat away from the work better. It didn't work all the time. I tried drawing a fast bead of solder and not going back over the line too much. Try keeping the iron off the glass. What about a smaller tip? Turning the r...

Did anyone else get this? Is he/she serious? Anyone know "Dale Mayer"? Art Glass Contest 2004 Enter Now We are looking for submittals for the Art Glass Contest 2004. This display will be in several cities over the next year. Schedules for the showings will be released late 2003. Your inten...

If you can get electricity...... I was at a summer outdoor show once, had my cooler with gin, tonic, and limes. Was mixing one and heard what sounded like a blender behind me. Poked my head through the curtain separating the back-to-back booths and was offered a strawberry daquiri. I'm told that wat...

Rent storage containers (assuming you've got a place to park them).

Trying to figure out how to get that last killer piece that I NEED for the show out of the kiln while it's still too hot to handle, never mind cold-work. Or, planning a curcuitous route to the show to hit several galleries and borrow back those killer pieces that I NEED for the show because I've con...

Cephas- most shows won't give any feedback, never mind scores. They say that it's just too much to ask for, and after jurying a major show I tend to agree. We screened 230 sets of glass submissions twice in 4 hours. The obvious clunkers were easy, work shot on the lawn, slides too dark to read, etc....

Base question, indeed. You can get away with bubble wrap for the stands but I would have a box for every piece of glass. If you pack only as many boxes as the number of pieces you bring, and you leave them flat, they won't take up that much room. Most pkg distributors require that you purchase a &qu...

In the header at the top of this page is a box: Links & Resources. Click and you shall be enlightened (but you might have to travel).

Dani- I think they're all hiding, in shock. I stayed home but I talked to several people, some on this board (and they'll have to come out themselves). Baltimore wholesale was pitiful, likewise retail. Philly was better.
Enough rumors, let's hear from the participants.

David- I use mine as promo/catalog. Retail prices are posted, galleries are advised to call. I need to talk to the buyer, retail or w/s. Very few direct sales but saves a fortune in printing and mailing. Good for credibility too. Marty

Hello Mary Kay- where have you been??!?!?!?! Rosanna- in my area about 6 to 8 glass studios get together, rent a hall, rent tables, cover the tables with newsprint, cover the newsprint with glass (lots of seconds, thirds, and fourths), send out postcards to everyone on the mail lists, call the local...

Jerry- what kind of shelves are you using? I'm always looking for a smooth bottom....Marty
