Recycling Silver Scrap
FYI for those of you who work in metal and don't know about this... I've found that many folks who are new to metals work don't know this so I'm passing this tip along. For those of you who use sterling or fine silver in your work, I hope you save up your scrap and "recycle" it with a meta...

Hmmm...I'm trying to think of the terms you've mentioned, but can't think of any at the moment. Here's some more i can think of off the top of my head that many people don't seem to know: torque - a solid piece of metal, worn around the neck. Sometimes it's worn alone, sometimes it's used to suspend...

Sheesh! I just thought of another tool I couldn't live without. That's my flex shaft tool. I use it for lots of different things...drilling small holes in glass, grinding out bits of crud that get stuck to the surface of glass. It can also be used to buff small pieces of metal. You may also want to ...

Oh yeah! I forgot! Late last year, on a visit out here to the left coast, Bert graciously gave me a personal lesson in the use of an air brush and air compressor for applying micas and enamels. I use both of those tools alot now. So much of the tolls you need will depend on the kind of work you want...

I've had disk grinders from a number of manufacturers since I started doing glass and I have to highly recommend the GlasStar disc grinder. It's spendy, but worth it. I have 2 of them, as a matter of fact. One I bought in about 1989 or 1990. I had to have the motor replaced after about 7 or 8 years,...

Actually, Bert, common sense doesn't work. I've seen a number of ceramic pieces decorated with gold lustre that are labeled as being for decorative use only. Perhaps it's the glaze. Maybe it's the lustre. Who knows? Geri I'm still sticking to my common sense. Perhaps there were factors other than t...

I don't know anything about the brands of lustres that you sell...never seen them, never tried them. However, I was informed by a potter friend of mine some years ago that gold lustre (I suspect she was referring to Hanovia and Duncan brands because those are two that are often used by potters) is n...

Re: BE Thin Fire newbie question
I have been experimenting non-stop and having a ball!! :D Now, I want to try Thin Fire since I read that it helps to reduce bubbles. (blocks moisture rising up from kiln washed shelf?) I understand that fiber paper needs to be fired before use, but wonder if that holds true for Thin Fire since it i...
