Was that not a terrific show?

Well, I sure thought so! I will look for you next year for sure.

I just got back from Glass Craft Expo. There was some great stuff. I got to take a lot of classes including a pate de verre class stack block class, a Bullseye box casting demo. Came back loaded to the gills with glass and tools & lots of great products. I brought back some of Armstrong's new pa...

Hi Jane,

We are taking STACK BLOCK LAYERED WORK but different days. Maybe we could compare notes after?

Dennis,
Took a look at your website. Lovely stuff!

I guess, more to the point is 'what classes aren't I taking?'

Hi Keiko, Thanks so much for the imput! I won't ask you for class recommends because I am already signed up but I might just pick your brain about that next year if you don't mind. I am really looking forward to it & am hoping to hear from more people who are going as well. THe tips on venders i...

Hey, surely someone from this board is going?

Don't tell me I am the only one?

I would really appreciate some feedback from anyone who has gone before, too!

I was not sure where to post this, didn't seem to really fit anywhere s& did & search & couldn't find any info. Is anyone here going? If so, I would love to know what you are looking forward to the most? It seems like almost too much to me. I was actually relieved most of the classes wer...

I am working out a big project consisting of fused panels 9" or 12" square that will be hanging in a larger frame. I need to hang each panel individually & they need to be removable. I was thinking of fusing a mandrel at the top of each panel with about an inch sticking out on each end...

THis is a great place to buy plain sheets as well as patterned decals-

(They will also produce sheets from your own patterns.)

- I channelized right past that button.

It is scary how fast the English language is changing.

(Google-ing included.)

I have been fusing in my little Aim 84BD for the last year & am waiting for my new Skutt GM1018.

Very exciting since I will be able to fit a shelf about 16" bigger in it.

So, I was hoping that some of you are using this kiln & maybe have some tips for me?

Please?

For polishing metal I use stainless steel shot instead of grit. I know other metalworkers use this as well. It only takes an hour or two to polish silver up this way.
Also, dipping solutions with take tarnish off metal but they do not make it shine. You will have to mechanically polish it for that.

If it really scratched I file & sand etc, after that I tumble polish till shiny.

I haven't fused with it yet but boy, does it make pretty beads!

Wonderful panels!

If i didn't hate float

I had a bigger kiln
&
oh yeah.. more talent

I would love to try something like that.

I also understand they are nickle plated zinc. That is what the manufacturer advertises them as.

The annealing temp is okay. Spectrum says 955 (+/- 10)

Very nice. I really like the the bowls you have pictured on your website as well.

Wow!
Thanks for all the tips. Looks like I have some fun ahead.

Talk about out of the loop....
