This question leads me back to my garage sale days. The really cool stuff that I thought was worth something, I couldn't give away at a garage sale. The total junk I had, people fought over it. When I used to do ceramics, a wise old potter told me, " Don't assume that if you don't like the colo...

sink molds

Where can I get a mold for a sink? Are most of them a standard size? And finally, can you use stainless bowls from Walmart? Thanks, Ginny

Glass Expo

Quill, I'll be there too. I'm not sure on the classes as most of them seemed very expensive to me. A couple of them were reasonable but the supply fee was too large for me. It looks like you have a big budget for classes. Since I can't afford the glasses, could I maybe hookup with you at the show an...

blonds/White Out

Does dyed blond count as blond? I'm digging the conversation on this whiteout. It's true. Everything is toxic or hasn't proven to be non-toxic over a period of time. I say, let's just throw all kinds of junk on our glass and see what happens! I'll probably die of all the dye i've put on my head over...

Why don't you look for some table that the legs attach by screwing in the top? Some of them have leveling legs where one leg can be a little longer than others to adjust for uneven surface. I used to have one. I think it was from Storehouse. It was Melamine and good looking. Ginny

Suzan, thank you for the help. I'll take your advice & get quotes based on my specs. By the way, do you find that using it for glass and ceramics works out for you? Any drawbacks? Thanks again, Ginny

I've been told that when I fuse larger pieces, the elements on the side won't spread heat evenly enough to the center of the piece to prevent cracking. The idea is that the top elements are an equal distance to all areas of the flat piece. I hear fusing small pieces with side elements doesn't matter...

kiln for ceramics & glass

I need to buy a kiln fast and need some advice on one that can fire for ceramics (cone 10) and has a top element that you can switch on & off for glass work. I hear Olympic will ad a top element for extra $ but I can't find anyone that has actually ordered one that way. I need one big enough to ...

Hi Jackie. I'm new here but I wondered if you have sandwiched silver? I do some work with silver wire (some very thick like 14 guage) and it tends to create a yellow color. That doesn't surprise me because of the component of yellow glass is silver I think. What i'm having trouble with is the silver...
