Hi Judith,

We have been making wall sconces and lighting fixtures for over 15 years. Please take a look at our website under lighting. (see www at bottom of this post)

You can contact me off board if you need more detailed information.

Thank you for whatever you did to make the photos show up on your post. I tried many times to look at images and always got the 'sorry' message- I thought it was another attempt at making us mac users the 'step-children' of the internet. :( Anyway, I think the sculpture is VERY interesting. Your use...

Hi Jen and welcome! I guess I'll jump in here since no one has replied to your question. I believe there is a large learning curve to making a sink that will not break under normal use, especially if you have not fused before. I would start with the tutorials on basic fusing, then I would start maki...

Rob, I just accessed your site from the address in your post and got to the first page. When I click on the center of the picture it takes me to a white page with a small 'banner' of a grouping of your glass. This is the address my screen screen shows. (http://www.ramoreydesign.com/home.html ) Can't...

Please stop.
Thanks

Nikki, I haven't fired it yet. I set a design up on 1" thick fiberbord this morning. I'm timing it to see how long it takes to harden/dry. This stuff is the consistancy of snot! Like flour dough that is too wet. I thought it would be more like caulk (don't know why I assumed that!) I have a sim...

Thanks Charlie, my google search turned up Skutt products site but I couldn't find it in the info. The link you provided was more helpful. So, I guess it is a kiln repair thing. Do you think I can still use it the way I mentioned? (I have about 6 tubes of this stuff and would really like to find a u...

Has anyone ever used this product? RHI Refractories of America- Inswool pumpable? It is in a tube that looks like what calk comes in. I think I can use it to make designs, etc. on fiber paper or perhaps to detail a mould. It did not come with any instructions and I can't remember where I originally ...

I am really enjoying this thread, but need a little clarification on some of the opinions. When you all are talking about something being 'new' and 'it's all been done before', I'm a little unclear exactly what is being said. Let's say that adding oxides to glass is not something new because lots of...

Hey, that looks almost just like mine. 4" dia. steel tube with 8x8 steel plate welded on bottom. Handle is something like 3 7/8" steel rod with handle welded to it. One fits very neatly inside the other. Took the welder about 10 min. to make, and costs me nuthin'....yeah, that's the ticket.

Sounds like another great topic for BECon (BE teacher's conference). My thoughts on learning.... I want to be sure I am learning a specific technique from a qualified teacher. Certainly there are different levels of teachers just as there are in any subject. Let's see.....joe blow goes to a class, l...

Tom & Tony,
When I go to Tom's photo album it says "0" photos in cracked album and won't let me open it. I viewed all the other photo albums (?) what did I do wrong?

Luiza,

Try alchemyglass.com without the hyphen.

Monochrome sinks are 3/4" thick.
The fused sinks are 1" thick. (2 pcs of 1/2" float fused).

Martha, The best advice anyone can give is to research. There are as many answers as there are types of kilns. I think if you take the time to search the archives,(I know, it is a lot of reading) you will find tons of helpful information that will (hopefully) let you make an informed decision. Good ...

Ooooh Patricia, those ancient cave drawings!!!! I fell in love with them after reading Jean Auel's Earth Children series- she was so inspired by those images after visiting the caves that she wrote them into her stories. I have been exploring putting down glass powders and then 'drawing' through the...

Gee, our company has been fusing copper inclusions for well over 10 years (fish, sealife, leaves, suns, moons, bugs, logos, etc.) Hope we aren't copying anyone.

You have to ask yourself this: Do you really want to make tons of $$$ (along with all the numerous business headaches that Kevin mentioned, among others), make the same thing over and over and over again OR express yourself as an artist? I'm with Doug and Kevin and Brock. Be careful what you wish fo...

We slump Starphire all the time (except for a few years back when it wasn't available-plant problems?) We always slumped with tin down and used Fusemaster clearcoat never had a problem. We slump into SS and over SS to make lighting fixtures. We always blast the inside of the fixture for that nice wh...

Sorry, I know this should probably go in the 'Spab' location- Thanks Nikki for the link to website (see silicon carbide vs aluminum oxide results). My calendar was from 1992 and I have been trying to duplicate 18th prize in glass. It nature beautiful! *Will direct any additional comments to Spab. So...

120,220,400, (or Silcon Carbide (80) on steel wheel and vibralap for 4-5 hrs) then pumice,cerium. Works for me.
