Using fiber board for the 1st time
I am planning on using some 3/8" fiber board for my first drop rings. I have not used it before & even though I have been told how to use it, am having amnesia about a few things. 1. Do I have to kiln wash it first? 2. Can I stack it to make a deeper drop? 3.Do I have to weight it so that t...

I've been trying to get a successful drop ring for the last month and this is your first piece out of your new kiln? Beginner's luck I think but am hoping it holds up! I haven't even tried a drop ring yet. We will see how that goes. I also have the makings for box-casting etc. Too little time, too ...

First fusing in new kiln!
I have been fusing small pieces in my little Aim bead annealer for the last year. Lots of fun but you can't do too many things in a 6"by6" space. Just got my new Skutt 1018 hooked up & finished my first fuse. I really like this kiln & it is so easy to use. (The Fuji controller on m...

Glass/pottery in same kiln?
I have been researching this but can't seem to find any definative answers. My sister wants to get a kiln for glass fusing but she also works with clay & would like a kiln she can use for both. Is this practical? I have emailed various manufacturers but no one has gotten back to me yet. I would ...

I learned a really great method for doing this from Phil Teefy. If you run a pencil or something similar across the twisted handle of an enamel sieve, it vibrates it just enough to release a very even coat of enamel onto your glass. Works like magic. I took two classes from Phil at Glass Craft Expo ...

I saw the Armstrong glass when I was in Portland. I was astounded at what garbage it was. It is enamel smeared on thin float glass. A total waste of glass and enamel to my eye. It is enamel on glass but I actually liked it. I am not sure it was meant tp look like stained glass, I think it has a dis...
