Re: HELP - Picking the right kiln
I've had an Evenheat 23" for several years. It's very reliable and I've been very satisfied. I really l iike their Rampmaster controller, also; much easier to program than the Bartlett that came with my other kiln, IMO.

Emma, I like your idea: I also do not have the patience for sewing of any kind (I throw scissors!) but love quilt patterns. I agree, the 3 layer thickness would be difficult to slump much in that small a piece. Go for bigger next time, and review the tutorial on this site about reducing the bubbles....

Susan, I like your site and your work. I reed through the other comments before I went to the site, and homed right in on Brian's comment about white text on black. As I get older (and develop some eye problems) I find I need more contrast and can't read tiny print. I was afraid I would have trouble...

Glass crates (free from the shop where I used to work). We cut about a foot off the end of the 4' Spectrum crates, and used the cut-off portions to make a floor and interior shelves of various heights to accomodate different size pieces. The crates are set on end with plywood fastened to the top to ...

Slumping glass over clay flowerpots is easy, interesting and inexpensive. The finished product can be used for votives or tea lights, oil lamps, potpourri holders etc. There are a lot of textured clear glasses available which are not expensive glasses and the combination of the textures and the fold...

Barbara, This mold was either made or marketed by Optimum Glass in Colorado. I don't know if they are still in business, but some suppliers still carry the rose mold. Try Pacific Art Glass - they are big on fusing and I'm sure they could answer your question. Their email: pacartglass@pacificartglass...

Definitely let them know, and try to do it in a direct meeting with the director so you can express what you've posted here. With education (especially art education) funding as tight as it is these days, I can't imagine any school not wanting their students to feel they are getting value for their ...

I still have mine (bought it at a glass conference in Las Vegas or Reno...can't remember) and use it occasionally. It is very fast, you can't include any metal (because it goes in the microwave), fusing space is extremely limited, and it's incosistent in firing (if you want to make a pair of earring...

P.S. I have dial-up (and am not the most patient person) and I thought the time it took to load was quite acceptable. I've been to sites which took so long I gave up, but I was able to go from page to page (and see the whole page clearly...some of them get there but then seem to load pixel by pixel!...

Jerry - Wow! Nice site and impressive work! I agree with the pther people who have said it could be improved by being able to get a closer look at these wonderful pieces. I wished I could peer closely, pick them up, turn them over, watch the play of light over the surface... As an English major who ...
