WarmGlass.com

On the Internet - there are numerous free online tutorials on the subjects of Wire Wrapping - PMC - Silversmithing, ect. Is anyone aware of similar tutorials on the subject of Warm Glass? I know there is a general tutorial on the top of the board. I would like to know if there are any others.

Thanks

Steve

buy the book. it's worth it.

The tutorials here are all i've found with any detail and substance.
On books I go to the local library and check them out. That way I get a test drive before I buy.
I'd be interested in the silversmithing tutorials you mentioned. If you don't mind post them here or email them to me.

Thanks,

Before I started glass, I wrote reviews and tutorials for major graphic software companies. I couldn't stop the habit when I started glass so I collected areas as a novice where I had trouble and put them together. I use a longer version for my teaching along with Brad's book which is a must for anyone. I, unfortuantely didn't learn about it until after I had already started working. But I still constantly use it and refer to it. The link for my sort of tutorial is
http://www.glowinglass.com/tutorials/novice-fuser.htm

You will have to paste the URL into the address line of your browser. I didn't know how to do it automatically here.

I hope this will help someone.

I PM'd this to you but will post it for others who might not know about it.

Also, the orchid board at ganoksin.com is a must for anyone doing jewelry and metalwork.... a wealth of good info there.

Paulajane,
I looked at your tutorial, and you've done a great job! Thank you for sharing it here. Where did you get your respirator? Thanks in advance.
Kay

Thanks Paula, I have read through twice and picked up some good info that I appreciate. Is the dishwash detergent that you use after grinding or sawing just a liquid dish soap or do you use a product for the dishwasher like Cascade?

Thanks Brad

The soap I use is the powder form of Cascade. I dissolve about 1/4 cup in a bowl of hot water. I try to remember to wear gloves when I use it but usually I can't be bothered and so I keep the manufactureres of hand cream in business. It is rough on ones hands.

Paula

Hi Kay -

Sorry , I saw Brad's comment and didn't look above it or I would have answered both together. We ordered the respirator from a chain called Graingers. But I know other people say they have gotten different sizes from the stores that deal with safety equipment.

Paula

Sorry AZ that I misread your name. I am breaking in new glasses and the words keep jumping. I now took them off.

Paula

Yea Paula. I'm from Tulsa and we've met in a class at Waterworks. I lost your card you gave me at Homestead. Are you going to the Glass Expo March 17th in Vegas? Let me know. My printer is out of ink so I caan't print your tutorial, but you're very nice to share it with us. Thanks, Ginny Graham at Queenbee Studio, email: Ginny@queenbee.info
