I've been asked this a number of times by customers, too. I think it's usually just that they don't understand how the art is made, and they are curious. But I think very few hot glass artists actually make their own glass, either, just as very few potters dig their own clay and formulate it, and wo...

By some chance are you grinding your edges and are you using Thinfire? I've had that combination bite me before. Tony I had that happen to a whole batch last week. Thought maybe it was one of those virus things. I ground, used superspray and thinfire. Left a haze around the edge. So I re ground and...

What is the purpose of cutting on a cushion? I've been cutting on my light table which is covered in thick tempered glass or I cut on my MDF table if I'm not using a pattern. What am I missing by not cutting on a cushion??? Confused as always.... Solid surface works fine with a lot of glass. Glass ...

LOL. Yikes! Okay, this is how you get rid of them. It's called body language and crowding their space. You move really close to them, pretending you're adjusting/straightening/cleaning your display. Bend over and bump them with your tush if you have to so that you give them a little nudge in the dir...

Lincoln City's Glass Galore Art Fair
I am wondering if any of you have done the Lincoln City (Oregon) Glass Galore Art Fair in the past, and if so, if you have any opinions to offer about it.

On the other hand, your purchases are also not recorded on a debit card and the information sold to information clearinghouses, an abominable invasion of privacy as far as I'm concerned. Also, many debit cards today are transparent to the merchant. In fact, I've been advised to simply state that I'...

Recently I removed some earring backs I had glued on with E6000 a couple years ago -- it took a lot of work wedging a knife blade under the earring pad and prying to remove them -- thoroughly ruining the studs. (I've since taken to soaking them awhile in acetone -- much easier.) I dab a bit on a too...

My feeling is that when someone gives me personal information in order to pay me with a check, they are doing so for that purpose and trusting me not to use it for some other purpose. I would feel I was betraying that trust by taking the address from it for mailings without permission. Perhaps I am ...

I think it's wrong only if a customer reasonably believes the item to be all glass, when it isn't. As long as you clearly state what it is they are buying, then they are making an informed decision. I worked at a store that sold these nice colored glass bottles. I was tempted to buy some with my emp...

Element Contamination
A representative of the company that made my kiln said my elements might be sagging because of what I use in the kiln. He said he talked to the makers of Kanthal element wire and was told that some materials as they volatize in the heat of the kiln can sort of soak into the elements themselves, chan...
