D'accord Bert, technique may be cheap, but it's absolutely essential. I won't go into my controller rant, but understanding your kiln, and the effects of heat on glass, are going to be far more useful in the long run, than the ability to plug numbers into a computer. And, on troublesome students, Av...

Patrick Reyntiens. Far and away, the most inspirational teacher I have ever met. His excellence in teaching lies in his ability to assess each student and give them information in the manner in which they would best receive it. He gave lots of lectures, he's a brilliant ad lib speaker, and told many...

I'm going to be very interested in these results also, although I'm not sure how much credence to give these simple tests. We have had problems using SiC, but we've also used it successfully. We've never this kind of problem with AlOx. To me, fire polishing is fire polishing, and all marks should be...

I can tell you right now, emphatically, that AlOx works perfectly for the double irid process, I've been doing it for 20 years. I'm really living in fear because I'm in the midst of making my Pilchuck Auction piece, and I blasted it with SiC. I won't be able to post any results until my metals arriv...

Not Hydrostone, Hydroperm. I've only used it for open face casting. It has specific mixing criteria, which when done correctly leaves the mold full of small bubbles, similar to an Aero chocolate bar. This network of bubbles allows the moisture in the mold to be vented through the mold. No 3 day air ...

I've been really biting my tongue here, (after all, we still have many classes to teach this year) but there is a curious dynamic in a class situation. It's almost as if some people lose their ability to think for themselves. People who lead otherwise normal, productive lives suddenly become helples...
