Apologies for the length of this post. Lynn, Yes, I have been watching this thread. And I’ve been trying to keep out of it. But here I come. I think my point was that the science of glass fusing isn't exact… The science IS exact. If it weren’t, it wouldn’t be called science. It is the practice that ...

Dani, First of all, I personally had VERY little to do with this edition of the Bullseye catalog; it's the product of an exceptional team led by Mary Kay. What I most loved about this issue was seeing how the quality of the work in our community has sky-rocketed in the last couple of years. Seeing s...

Because these problems are so similar to those we at Bullseye had when Spectrum was making a machine-rolled clear for us, I am going to jump in to this thread although I am sure that some will cry foul and others will distrust what I am going to say because I’m talking about “the competitionâ€

I think this is a fantastic opportunity for a lot of much-needed discussion/debate on terminology. Thanks, Lauri! PS. Charlie, it's "vitrigraph". I can be inflexible on this point, since I coined the term and wrote the first print material detailing the process (Bullseye's TechNotes #2, Co...

What about when you're NOT a "Master"? I have to say, personally - I adore compliments, but I have yet to develop a taste for this particular sort. Then I guess, like Bert says, you just need to run like hell and stay ahead of the pack. (from one who works for a company with shin splints)

I keep going back to Tony’s remark that it’s not “ethicalâ€

....are you NUTS?! Gimme AVEDA over SFMOMA any day! Deep Concept? Upper Colonic? Hmmm. Hard choice.

Don,

I don’t disagree. I should have written “memorable artâ€

Jackie, good thread you started. But everyone is talking about TECHNIQUE here. Technique is not inspiration. It is just technique.

I love technique (I also love “craftâ€

Lani has shared some irridizing tips with me in the past even after we had all those many arguments. To her credit. But I'd still be disapointed if they were holding proprietary information that could be relevant to food safety. Disapointed but not surprised. David, I can GUARANTEE you that Bullsey...

Terry, I absolutely LOVE that the internet lets us actually SEE the problems. I read yours and scratched my head a bit, then opened the image and bingo. This is a textbook example of thermal shock: Unless I'm not reading the picture properly, your base glass is a 15" x 15" sheet of 1137 am...

Paul, sorry to hear that a standard product has to be special ordered. Who's your supplier?

Hi Lauren, Since Bullseye has never made a color named "Avocado", I'm at a loss here... do you have a style number? Is there a chance it was a curious (i.e., off-sample) color? Is it transparent or opaque? If we'd ever known we'd made "the greatest color in the whole wide world" ...

Come find you??? You won't be able to get rid of me! I'll be telling Dan, "Oh come on, buy Lani that pretty piece - - - the one with all those colors. Here - take my pen, go on, do it." Jackie, Jackie, Jackie.... we are 21st century wimmin! We've got our OWN wallets! And we don't sit on t...

I'm more worried about Ted, having seen his fashion sense in the past.

Signing off for the weekend . . .

You thought that was "sense"?

Lonman, Every kiln fires differently, but in our Paragon GL24s, 1400F - depending on the rate of fire - is closer to full rather than a tack fuse. How much your glass is pulling in also depends on how many layers you're starting with. A single layer of thin is going to shrink more at this temperatur...

Jackie, Delete YOU? Never! Meanwhile, please come find us... we've got a table with a bunch of the BE crowd: moi, Dan, Ted, plus Holly & Rebecca from the Gallery and also Steve K and Catharine N.... we'll look for you, but with sometimes 1,000 people in the room it's easy to miss even The Most W...

But you should keep the guy who scripts your lines, Bert. He's a hoot!

Yo Lani How the workshop thingies go in Scotland ?? Brian A life-changing experience. ... in fact, to keep On Topic... one of the students in his review of the Jess Loughlin/Ted Sawyer class he'd just attended said "this was my PILCHUCK!" Only better.... IMHO North Lands Creative Glass ha...
