If you are going to use ss rings you need to remember that the ss shrinks more than the glass. When I have cast with them I use 1/4 fiber paper on the first firing then 1/8 fiber paper on each successive firing. You need the cusion so the ss doesn't crack the glass.

Ok Dennis, I think you are contradicting yourself when you say that it is not our (the artists) responsibility to educate the consumer but to respond to them. Then you go on to say that the consumer accepted Picasso. If we (artists) are supposed to respond to the consumer then we will always be play...

Well I talked to the gallery owner about what I wanted to do with the piece. I think I'm going to either make a new piece for the juried exhibition or make the gallery a new piece of the same or greater value to trade out. I talked to him about the purpose of entering in the show and who was the jur...

I agree that a good photographer is worth the money. I myself have yet to use one, they are very expensive. I do want to caution you though, not every professional photographer knows how to shoot glass. GET REFRENCES! And be sure you see their work first before you plunk any money down. I know many,...

Cool New Tool
Good morning everyone, Just got a new tool. I bought it because we are installing tile in our bath room, so of course I am going to use it on my glass work... It's an alpha 4" wet circular saw. It sprays water everywhere, but if you need to make really long cuts or can't afford a 10" tile ...

Mira, You need to understand what annealing is. It is the slow decent of temp. through a given set of temp. It's not just one temp. or sitting at one temp. for a given amount of time. I don't use S96 so I couldn't tell you what the range is but hopfully someone else with experience will. Good luck, ...
