garbage disposal works for me. Depends on the size of the frit you want, and you do have to wash it but it's a heck of a lot faster than the quench method.

1. get the cups first. Weiss is a good source. There aren't that many that I've found. 2. THEN figure out how to attach. Without the cups, you won't know if they've got a hole or not. Threaded rods are just screws without tops. You can buy them at Home Depot in the bin with the long metal stuff. Som...

Have you tried contacting the artist whose work you posted?

ok, now that we all know to elevate the shelf... Figuring out firing schedules for a new kiln takes time. I have 7 (yes, seven) kilns and each one of them fires differently (even 2 of the same kiln...). So stop pulling your hair out (unless it grows back very quickly) and fire some test pieces rathe...

i heard from some other artists and you are right! How are you my friend?

I was just contacted by this gallery. After checking out their web site, they appear to have 1 glass artist who does not have a web site. Has anyone dealt with or heard of these folks? They sound a little scammy to me...
thanks!

Flattening takes a much hotter temperature than firepolishing. If you want to flatten and not lose the rectangular shape, use a dam. If you do that, the top will be firepolished but not the sides (where they're touching the dam.

check out www.fusedglass.org and take a look at Paul Tarlow's process for Kiln-Pressed Glass. Could be just the ticket for getting the maximum purple out of that glass!

Don't hesitate to re-use your shattered pieces in new melts/pieces. That's part of the joy of fusing!

Marty!!!!! (actually you can check out Marty on his Web site, but I prefer the pup...)

I went thru a one-day critique recently with Steve Klein and asked that very question - about adding almost a border (like a quilt) between the work and the frame. Folks said no, but I'm still tinkering with the idea. Interesting that you brought it up.

I just bumped into the Art Glass Network, http://www.artglassnetwork.com. Anyone know anything? They seem to have some relatively well-known folks listed as selling on the site...

and they're cheaper too

it's personal! answer my email, you goon!!

Arakawa - in Oregon. You can find them on the web, http://www.arakawagrip.com. Not cheap but good stuff.

can't seem to figure out how to set it to public (which I did at the beginning anyway). oh well.

hope this works.

album is 2004 glass

who's the moderator here, anyway? Where's the FAQ? I'm so low-tech, I might as well be NO-tech...

Just got the most recent GAS newsletter, reading the conference stuff, even the pre & post workshops are 99% blowing. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: we need a group.

Besides, couldn't we require all members to buy a calendar? It's definitely a collector's item

wonder if I could use vermiculite board??? a bit sturdier....
