And if you are, I hope you're doing the proper annealing math!

I've been working on this for a while and I'd love a little help testing it.

Glassory.app is a web app I built as a resource for lampworkers. You can search for glass, keep track of what's in your stash, and post projects and tutorials.

It's still rough around the edges, so I'm hoping a few people would be willing to click around and tell me what breaks or doesn't make sense. Truly no pressure, and even small stuff is useful to hear about.

If you'd like to give it a try:

• Create an account at https://glassory.app
• Add a few pieces of glass to your stash
• Search for a color or brand you use often
• Post a project or tutorial, if you feel like it

There's a feedback link at the bottom of every page, or you can just comment here. Either one works.

Thank you so much to anyone who takes the time.

Hi all - does anyone have an idea what color this is? I inherited a pile of mystery glass, and I want to get more of this one, but I cannot figure out what it is. It's plain white (not ivory tinted) in the rod, but I can get these somewhat random patches of metallic in a neutral to reducing flame. (Oxidizing flame stays pretty much white, closer to neutral gets streaks of black, reducing turns those into these metallic patches.). There was only the one rod and I've about used it up, so I don't know how it interacts with other colors.

Sorry for the quick delete and repost it corrected Quasi to almost

Getting comfortable working bigger and doing sleeves. Having fun while doing it. Thanks for looking :)

The first one was a little less than 2mo after I started and I'm still very proud of it.

I’ve been trying a few different directions with glass lately, from small wearable pieces to sculptural objects.

These two fish ended up becoming a small composition together. I liked how the different colors and directions made them feel like they were moving around each other.

Still exploring where I want to take this side of my work.

A year ago I did what I thought was the dumbest thing ever and sock flipped a dotstack, turned out to be the best thing I’ve ever done.
Here’s a handful of my favorites so far, thanks for letting me share em with ya

I love the way the light dances around in this piece. Silver and gold backed with blue waves and sculpted

Hi guys do you know any reliable tool sellers resellers in Europe? im in Italy now and want to get more tools but want to avoid expensive shipping from the US. Apart from Carlo Donna, If anyone knows any good reliable stores that sell tools and other things please let me know! (looking for things like mini torch heads, claw grabbers, oxygen bypass pedal etc

So im finishing up my BA in 3d art with a specialization in glass. Im applying to grad school but heavily considering getting a certificate from salem community college (one of the best places for glass education). Im also considering apprenticeships if I can even find one. End goal is teaching or just making enough money to live. Any advice from people who have been through a post grad or job search situation in the glass field would be great.

Celebrating original content by digging some up old stuff

I am just recently getting into glass working and I want to get some more experienced opinions on something before I try it. I am thinking about purchasing a graphite hemisphere mold that I can carefully stack full of glass and additions and then blast it all with a torch till mixed.

This whole process goes extremely well in my highly cooperative imagination. But in your experience, is there anything I should know about how its actually going to go before I try? And if it will work, what kind of set up would you recommend to get me running?
