How-To: Anneal Your Glass

Some people desperately need this chart...print it out, set your kiln to it (or set it next to your kiln if you don't have Digital yet), and forget all about waking up to broken stuff. Sell your items with confidence, anneal your glass!

NEW TOOL_ "VIN PIN"

(JohnVinEVinson)

I have been using flower frogs for years to put neat imploded designs in glass. The only problem with using the flower frogs was that they were almost always made with a lead base. When I first started using flower frogs with lead bases I ran into several problems: The glass tended to stick into the frogs i was using . Also the heat would transfer from the glass, through the brass pins, and melt the lead base. After reading about the effects of lead inhalation I decided I needed to figure out a way to make a flower frog that the beginner glass artist could use. I tried using welded stainless steel ones, but the pins that came with those were too small and stuck to the glass easily. After putting the project on the backburner a few months i finally found a graphite machining company that was willing to help me develop a prototype model: Weaver Industries: I highly recommend them to anyone who needs anything graphite!

*Upd... the vin-pin is now available worldwide on e-bay.

How to blow crackle balls

How to blow crackle balls

(AndrewBrott)

The images below were taken by Andy Pollack to illustrate how to blow "off the hump". I need hundreds of glass balls for a new chandelier, and this is the fastest way I have found to make them with color. This technique is similar to Venetian stemware production techniques used for cup tops. We get 6 to 10 balls per tube depending on size; and work with a "starter" and a "finisher", but could greatly increase our speed with extra person and 2nd glory hole. I hope they are displayed in order...

How to put together a chandalier with zip-ties!!

(MicahEvans)

At my old studio we had this chandalier that would get a new life every couple of years. It is made up of silver and gold fumed twisty cane "pendants" and about 500 zip ties! Its lots of fun and pretty easy to put together, itjust took a long time to make the 2000 twisties to cover the surface area!

How-To: Get Heat Rash (or rather, how NOT to get it)

How-To: Get Heat Rash (or rather, how NOT to get it)

Directions for Heat Rash: Work long hours without a shirt in high humidity for days on end, and you might get this. It went away after a few days, but it comes back with long work days occasionally. As it fades away, it kind of looks like leopard print!

Tuna Can Drops

Tuna Can Drops

(Sun-Toys)

Dichroic glass 90 series slumped through a hole in a steel (not aluminum) tuna can. One was restricted by placing a tray beneath the can giving it a foot to stand on. The other is unrestricted giving it a round bottom. The tops have been cold worked. Creating little mini vases. I find that this is a great way to get rid of unusable scrap.

Glass sand casting

Glass sand casting

(AndrewBrott)

While moving into my post Katrina, CERF sponsored "FEMA Studio", I found these old photos while unpacking... Here is how sand casting works: Use two or more sizes of olivine sand (differing "grain" sizes make for smoother castings), mix it with 7% to 10% of betinite clay body. This helps to hold the sand together. Slightly dampen, and run it through screens, as to sift it like cake flour. Make impressions in the sand, and spray it with a mixture of sugar and water (molasses works great). Use an acetylene torch to burn the sugar/water, and to add a layer of black carbon to the sand surface. This barrier will prevent the glass from sticking. Ladle in molten glass at 2300F. Poke vent holes under and around the poured casting, and use torches to evenly cool the glass. When the glass reaches 1150F, load it into an annealing oven to cool. Use Libinsky's annealing chart to cool to room temp. This chart can be found the Bible of Studio Glass; Henry Halem's book "Glass Notes".

TECHNIQUE IS CHEAP!

TECHNIQUE IS CHEAP!

(TravisWeberGlass)

This is a spiral technique I found. It helped me speed up production and reproduce color scemes that worked well. I do know if others are doing this. I have shown a few people before. They liked it so thought others might appreciate the concept. When I found colors that worked well I could save a piece of the cane stock for future reference. Don't be shy on the color because it gets pulled down so much.You can get like 20 pendants if you want for one cane. Try some dicro.The bigger the cane the easier it is to do.. Also the most important thing is a nice a clean cut on the edge. Weld them together very gently to not mash the clipping into the clear rod. When pulling the termination for the center of the spiral you must pull it nice and tight in order to keep the color. It does take some practice.
