Rodney: Brock was, I think, replying to your comment about mixing colored FRIT with clear FRIT/SCRAP. If you do that, you'll get "spots" of color. I am suggesting you mix colored POWDER with gum arabic and clear FRIT. This should yield a consistent color, but there are a lot of variables: ...

The powder/gum arabic mixture will coat the frit and will produc...

WGW I was on the West Coast; WGW II was on the East Coast. Isn't it the Midwest's turn? :lol: Chicago--for ease access from all over the country, among other amenities, although I will admit there are few facilities for pre- or post-conference workshops. I would also concur that the time has come to...

Jon: Please accept my sympathy on the passing of Frances and once again a thank you for making it possible for our group to meet her--I think it has been over a year ago now. It was an honor and a privilege to talk with Frances and I am so glad we were able to do so. The fused glass movement will fe...

Hi, Jon:

Good publicity for the Higgins Studio, too. Congrats!

Thanks to both Lani and Catherine Newall for taking the time to guide the WGB's SOFA attendees through parts of SO...

Charlie:


To those of us of a certain age (and for whom Sean Connery is the ONLY James Bond) that's not an obscure movie reference at all.

Rob:

Some of us Chicago-area warm glass people (and out-of-state visitors) will be getting together to view SOFA the week after Steve's class. Stay tuned.

Jon--Great to see you accessing the Warm Glass Board. I want to thank you again for your help when I called last year asking if the Brock/Avery class could visit the Higgins Studio. Meeting and talking with Frances was a great pleasure: please extend to her, again, our thanks for generously spending...

Anything over that and it will burn and give off toxic fumes--definitely not the material you want to use for glass molds. As Barbara suggested, tr...
