I finally got my kiln set up and programmed and yes the same thing. The gap is about 1/2 on one side. When it is cold everything is level. I don't have any problems with it not getting up to temperature, and I tested it doesn't have any cold spots. It is annoying to think this is something that the ...

I agree that the idea of formalizing and taking away some of the many tasks that Brad takes on. The idea of paying annual dues including if you want to use the board is not an outrageous idea. You can allow people to be guests for say a month and then they would have to decide to sign up or not. I l...

I have been watching modern masters on HGTV in Canada, I can't recall how often it is shown. There has been some amazing shows. kl

When I called Arrowmount about their summer schedule they only had wonderful things to say about you two. They really enjoyed having you there. I guess I will find out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! kl

Judy, That seems to come with practice and going doing less passes at the beginning. I have started planning where I want the glass to come down a bit. Not always successful. It is so great having Patty's tutorial and Brad's book and the support of each other when we try new things on our own. Keep ...

I like them. I love the third one. Your second one looks like a huge marble, the green colour in the middle is really cool. Way to go. :) Your comments are right. You do have to only do one at a time or else they stick. I also haven't bent my fork prongs either. I looked in the archives and I think ...

Great advice on raising the shelf. I wasn't sure how I was going to manage it in my big kiln when it arrives. The cable suggestion is excellent. Thanks, kl

p.s. I really like your combed piece with the dark rim.

Judy,
Your right too deep would cause a real problem. Are you going to post your first one. Looking forward to seeing it, as well as the other. kl

Your work is just outstanding!!! I too love the magnolia! kl

The strips of glass are layered on their side. I did on blue sea put small dabs of glue to hold them together since in my second attempt the first one fell over. I layered the glass with combinations of clear, opaque and solid colours and just tried to do different combinations that I thought would ...

Thanks for the feedback. I have only been working in fused glass since June but in stained glass for several years. kl

Thanks Bert and Brock & Doug for your feedback. kl

Bert,
I went to the Haystack site and their summer info isn't out yet.

I am interested in applying for a Pilchuk Scholarship to study under Klaus Moje this summer. To have the opportunity to study under him would be wonderful!! I was wondering if someone who may have applied for one before could give some words of wisdom to share with me prior to my sending in my slide...

And Tony i forgot to add your bowl is beautiful and really unusual. Picks up the colours nicely and looks really cool. I really like it. kl

Thanks guys. I just took the broken one out of the kiln after having brought it back up to 1500 and holding. It is together and you can see the "seam"on the back side. I will keep it out as Tony suggests and it will remind me of what happens when I overdo it. Once my big kiln comes in the ...

http://groups.msn.com/Arcticlassglassphotos/combing.msnw?albumlist=2[url] I would really appreciate your feedback, critique of what I did in my first combing attempts. I used BBQ fork method of combing in both my hotbox and aim kilns. I got carried away with twisting and turning and got by fork stuc...

I have tried looking through the archives and their was a suggestion that a louvred window could be used to vent it. I have in my shop an area that is designed to put an a/c unit in it that is covered over. I was thinking that if I set up a vent hood of some sort that might work. Do you have other s...

Brock,
Was able to get the downdraft cancelled. thanks for the advice!
