I just received a jen-ken oval 13. The stand looks already put together. Although... there are two two extra pieces of metal that should go somewhere. No information in the kiln manual, Marty is gone for the week and the factory does not answer the phone... I thought that someone here might be able ...

Hi Charlie, Here is the link: http://www.azleg.state.az.us/ars/44/title44.htm Look into Chapter 11, article 12 "consignment of fine art". As per the definition, glass work is considered as 'fine art" by the text of law. There is something that I found helfull (I too am starting and I ...

My favorite kiln may not be your favorite kiln... choosing a kiln will depend of the type of work you are doing or want to do. I just purchased another kiln (it is going to be delivered today...) and was hesitating between several models. I called Marty at Centre de Verre (see link on this board) an...

A professional and honnest gallery should take responsability of the work they take on consignment. It must be stated in the contract or consignment aggreement. A while ago, I learned that some states have statutes to protect the artist. Some don't. For examples, Arizona has such statutes and they a...

This is me who put the first post. I received it a while ago and truly believe this is a scam.

Thank you for your feedback. It sounds like all of you had a great time.

Was there any representation from european countries? and how was it?
Patricia

I have found the link for Arizona.

Look into "article 12 - consignment of fine art".

I know you are not in Az, but it still hope it can help you.

Amy, Look at the statutes of the state where is located the gallery. For example, in Arizona, there is a text of law that says very explicitely that the gallery is responsible (theft, fire...) of the work left in consignement by artists. This text also says that any paperwork they may ask you to sig...

Hi Rob, Thank you for sharing. Nice set up. But... what is this paper that you call vellum? I have noticed that people call "vellum" anything papery from transparent to opaque. I would guess this is a paper in-the-between, made to diffuse the light. Could you tell more about it, please. Al...

Art is only worth what people will pay to own it (those words are from Jack White). When doing pricing, I believe the perceived value is what has to be considered. More than adding supply costs, labor, overhead, etc... If it costs you $100 in supplies to make a product with a perceived value of $10....

I am not attorney, but I believe there are different way to use someone's name. Some are legitimate, some are not. Let's say Jane Doe is a famous glass artist. I own a platter made by Jane Doe. I want to display it in my collection or to sell it. In this case, this is stating a fact that to say that...

As per the pictures downloaded from a web site, I have a few comments. If you decide to have a web site, you go public and you will have to face this type of action one day or another. It happened to me a couple months ago. Someone took a picture from my site and used it on his own. It was not done ...

Hi Steve, Sounds like there is a shortage of glass everywhere, right now. I am having difficulties to even get clear glass!! Try also Pacific Art Glass in LA (pacificartglass.com) If you do not find this glass anywhere, contact me directly. I have some of it in my private stash and might be able to ...

In another message that I posted recently about good class experience, I related a conversation that I had with Roger Thomas. I said something that surprised him (even shocked him), and later Roger came to privately talk to me about what I said and why he thought I was wrong. It relates very well to...

Barbara, that's too bad you were not able to visit the caves. But that will give you the opportunity to come back. And mushrooms.... I love mushrooms. My american husband says they taste like chewing gum ;) I do not fear any lawsuit. There are no law to protect a process, especially this one. And, i...

Hi Glenda, Yes, those cave paintings are amazing. When Lascaux has been discovered, they closed it few years later. Too much visitors caused a kind of fungus to grow on the walls and some paintings started to deteriorate. For several years, artists and scientists worked at building a replica called ...

I learned to cut pieces of copper and sandwich it between during my first fusing class. I like to work in series, around a theme or a technique. I love animals, nature and travels. And I do not believe that I am the only one sharing this taste. Right now, I am into my serie ancient Mexico and french...

I would be curious to know more about this person. I do not know her but it sounds like she is doing glass and believes that I copied her work. She just sent me a very nasty, arrogant and insulting email. Not that I care, but I would like to know more about this company/person. Has someone already f...

To answer Lani's questions about Roger's class: Yes, Lani. During the workshop I attended, Roger used this "palette tiles" method. Each set of tiles is made around a particuliar technique or material. The class was dedicated to learn those techniques and materials. We did many sample tiles...

Charlie, what a great information!!

I did not know about those gloves. This is the first time I hear about them and I've got to try them.

And sounds like I'm in for the pneumatic grinder

Thank you again.
