Hi Brock, Interesting thread on several levels. As a continuing student of glass, I am interested in the opinions of those with demonstrated abilities, such as yourself, Avery, Brad and the other generally acknowledged "glass gurus." (I will leave someone out if I try to name them, though ...

Hi, A lot of very good suggestions have already been posted. I would add that if you are able to take a class from Brock Craig and Avery Anderson that you do so. They are both terrific artists and they are excellent teachers. The two uniquely create an environment that is filled with valuable techni...

---posted in my studio--- "I get out my work and have a show for myself before I have it publicly. I make up my own mind about it -- how good or bad or indifferent it is. After that the critics can write what they please. I have already settled it for myself so flattery and criticism go down th...

Hi Stuart, You should go by the Kittrell Riffkind Gallery(Art Glass) on Beltline road in Dallas. (Be sure and check out the Dallas Museum of Fine Arts and the Kimball Museum of Fine Arts and Amon Carter in Fort Worth since you will be the metroplex area ) If you like good jazz, drive 30 miles north ...

Thanks, Cliff,

Will do.

Have a good evening.

Ann, I have 3 large Jen Kens, a front-loading Paragon an Evenheat (all have controllers) and 2 small kilns. I like all of them. I believe, however, that Mike and his family at Jen Ken offer the best customer service available. They are always helpful, courteous and generous with their information --...

:?: I haven't seen anything about Graham Stone in a while. On the old website (in December '02) I checked the appropriate box indicating that I would like to buy his firing recipe book when it became available to website users again. (there was the option to buy from the website or directly from him...

You can buy the paperweight molds from Art Glass House. They are somewhat shallow. When the glass is removed after firing, the "top" or rounded side of the paperweight (which came in contact with the kiln wash) will need some cold work. I suppose you might try to fire polish it, but it may...
