I got thru it in 2 and a 1/2 hours but i was only stopping at the glass booths, I was impressed with the caster using tree bark as a mold form and the induced bubble forms I saw from using stingers crossed over Irid to Irid surfaces preventing them from fusing, she was very nice in satisfying my int...

Are there any Latvian glass makers out there???

I am moving to Riga in May and want to set up a studio. Any ideas about the best places to get equipment?

Any contacts????

Yes, it is cold and dark there in the winter, but it is beautiful, peaceful and Latvians are the best.

Thanks,

It looks great. Now I just have to figure out how to do it.

Umm I havent tried sandblasting yet but am at a school in Washington, where they have a Sandblaster, yay (i dont have one). I have read about a certain xerografy or something that can transfer a Picture negative to a multi level sandblast resisit to get an image, or was I just fantasizing hoping the...

Any problems trying a Pot melt into a plaster/silica mold ? Ive thought It would be really swank to try tanks a Milly

was your drop out a made clay one, does it have sufficient area on the outer sides to hold the glass up, guessing that may be the problem, try holding for longer at a lower temp maybe, just trying to help

Ive found that you can create neat designs in copper by folding it over itself in certain areas to induce the reddish look, a great way to make different shades of the red ! more folds the more extreme the reds .

I've been fusing sinks out of plate glass recently but have had a problem develop where they crack on the first or second slump. I'm cutting a 19 circle out of 1/4 inch glass and tack fusing broken peices of glass from the same piece at 1410, them slumping at 1350. I've had a rash of cracking proble...

Good question Ill ask it again can Decals be used with Float , Im thinkin of the Irid ones, Irid float would be neat

i saw the "new colours" from armstrong too and the not impressed. Expensive and not to uniqui, anyone with a lil exp. can make those peices themselves. It would'l have been bettter if it was avail in thicker pieces.

oyster cups work great for candle holders and there under 50 cents

I havent tried combing yet but I dont think you should have done on your kiln floor try it on a Kiln Shelf, I've read that fibre paper wont work either.

hope I helped

Id like to see them,

What is SLS glass ?

Thanks guys, it was driving me crazy wondering what that stuff was, I say it again, thank got the United States military released the Internet onto us glass lovers to make this board.

Thanks soo much sorry about that link, i think I linked it to my Webshots soo its only good from my CPU. Really sandblasing will do the trick, cool. Havent been able to afford one yet but, soon hopefully. Wow ! I've been reading up in the Old archives, Brad this site is somethin else. I could be the...
