Before this all steam rolls too far I would like to give a word of caution on giving and receiving critiques. The critique is based solely on the quality of the photographs or digital images the person seeking the critique can produce. To receive the most accurate critique you will first need to lea...

The cracks you see may have only partially healed unless you took the piece above the normal fuse temperature. What looks like a cracks may have been long thin trapped air bubbles. The devitrified surface of the glass will have a higher surface tension than the surrounding glass. Higher surface tens...

When I want true criticize I take a piece to experienced fusers for there review. I do not answer requests for criticism on forum boards, as I do not feel that a set of pictures is sufficient to judge if a piece is composed and executed to specific standards. I need to touch, feel, and inspect a pie...

Val, I have had this happen on more than just clear. It shows up on both kiln wash and fiber paper fired pieces. I have found that it is present before slumping, and appears to be a surface devitrification caused during the fusing. I have verified this by using fiber paper on the first fuse, and the...

Did she copy the work? I don’t know. It is possible to have two people in different locations come up with the same design and name at the same time. I have had this happen to me with an engineer in Japan. When it does happen it all comes down to dates (who came up with it first). Keep good recor...

I have asked this question too. I have a design, maybe even a vision. I draw it out and have assistants to help me (this all hypothetical). They cut out the glass, lay it up, maybe even execute the entire piece. Hmm, can I sign my name to it?? I don't think so; maybe a company name but not my name....

The conversations we've had on this before indicates that the answer seems to be, keep moving on, keep growing, keep evolving your work. I do this anyway. My work, while the essence remains the same, continues to evolve and change with every piece. The problem that I can't quite figure out the solu...

Steve, Both kilns are accurate to themselves. You could test the accuracy of the thermocouples, but my guess is they are accurate to within there manufactured tolerance. Things that can affect the fuse temperature are volume inside the kiln (air space) and mass of material being heated (shelves, bri...
