#glassblowing — Public Fediverse posts

I pulled tubes with my buddy Sean today and picked up the submit Ideas here box. Very excited to have these tubes. I tried to use all my color bar... which wasnt a bunch, Ali helped a little- so now I should get some color bars to replace what I used.

I want more of the (white looking) Iris Amber- its got silver in it and reflects light off of it one way (whitish) but filters light another- amber
I also want more dark amber tubes- cant seem to get enough of those... and cream brown- I used two bars of Ali's today. We pulled an interesting copper ruby that is now out of production too... It might be possible to melt a pot of copper ruby.

Of course more ruby tubes are always nice... but the gold colors are expensive at about $50-$100 per 30 foot pulls (more gold=more pink)

Excited to phosphor coat these tubes.... I wanna make a xenon Iris, gold and copper ruby one.

Excited to go through the Idea box.

Come see us at the Wedding art market this Sunday! My partner is an incredibly talented glassblower and you’ll have an opportunity to get beautiful glasses to drink from, absolutely gorgeous vases to put on your table or shelf, and a chat about what we are hoping to have next time if no more shoulders get broken!

And if that’s not enough, here are some pieces you CAN’T have. They’re MINE!!

If you love glass and want to support a local independent artist, come say hello!

Excited to be collaborating with two friends for this performative Hot Glass Hangout at Urbanglass on Friday, September 3rd, from 6-8. Its now less than a week away!

That is a video of the plotter I use- a vinyl cutter that I put paper and a refillable paint pen in to make a big bold line drawing robot.

Find out what the pattern says by going to the hot glass hangout at Urbanglass in Brooklyn, (NYC) on April 3rd, 6-8pm. Free and open to the public with light snacks and some things for sale. Its a fun time, there might be some audience interaction, will be some light snacks and things for sale, and my friend Alex will be on a microphone explaining the glassblowing things happening.

Dale Chihuly once put a bunch of neon in blocks of ice. We gave it a try. Partially frozen with water on the top and my hand didn't get any zappy current :)

I have been pretty busy with some neon production work, but I did manage to find time to document this sculpture I completed in 2023, The Wild One E, the fifth of big toy sculptures. I was in such a rush to get it out to a show in Chicago that I didn't get a chance to properly document it. You can see my first lil bit of clips thrown together here...

I want to redo the photo shoot in a white wall room (I have one at home). I also want to get another camera flash.

I also pulled tubes with an old friend from college. We were glassblowing blow partners and now he blows glass full time here in Brooklyn. I had been wanting to pull some of these expensive colors with him and it was worth it.
Gotta mix up some phosphors to coat the tubes later. We used nearly full kilograms of color on each pull so the colors light filtering effects would be extra pronounced.

Glad UC Riverside still has a scientific glassblower. Fewer and fewer US campuses do.

Does anyone know of any Canadian glassblowing suppliers? I'm looking to get a set of BoroTruView 3.0 Lampworking Glasses 33 and a National 3A-B hand torch, and some accessories, and all the suppliers I can find are in the US or UK (and the UK ones don't ship to Canada). Would rather avoid huge tariffs.

Edit: Other non-USA glassblowing suppliers that ship to Canada also welcome!

I have been making more pickles, and got some super tiny 6mm tubing (they didn't have 8mm). These little pickles are gonna be much better for hiding on small trees- or for expert pickle finders.

Pickle game hard mode!

They are for sale at Urbanglass and you can even buy them and they can ship.

https://store.urbanglass.org/products/dreams-and-aspirations-neon-pendant-light-copy

The listing on their webstore claims they are 2 inches, however some of these new pickles are even smaller and better for hiding.

I will be selling them in person at the Resistor Holiday Market for $50 each an you can pick the size you like. Sunday, December 14th at NYC Resistor in Brooklyn from noon to 6.

Someone asked on one of my bountiful flame harvest days why the pickles I make aren't shiny at first. I explained that the cucumbers have to be "pickled" (with silver) to become shiny ;)

Made it back to my workplace of 10 years ago for their 10th annual NEON festival. NEON in this case stands for New Energy Of Norfolk (Virginia). Since I left there, the Chrysler Museum Glass Studio has expanded, tripling in size.

They still have their daily noon demos and my friends Heather Sutherland and @AbbeyfuckingDivens asked if I wanted to be a part of today's demo. I was able to test out their new manifold cart on wheels and with a microwave I picked up a the local thrift store, light up some blown glass work that Heather made all while hot.

Their new cart has a much nicer manifold than the one I put together over 10 years ago. The Amphitheater hotshop is also much nicer. The public and studio team were dazzled by my race agains the clock, "do it all while hot an clean" performance- all packaged up into an educational 1 hour demo. What fun!

Fediverse! I need your help.

I bought this hanging floating-candle candelabra thing as a teenager, and it survived some 20 years until my mum decided to transport it up to me.

Two of the votives are broken. I have scowered Etsy and eBay and various search engines and not found anything to replace them.

It's rather beautiful lit up, but I haven't been able to enjoy it as an adult.

Can you help? I either need 2 replacement votives or 6. 1/2 #candles #crafts #glass #GlassBlowing

University of Wisconsin Madison visiting artist 2025 Tube Pulling

https://makertube.net/w/bEKBhyzXHvPaaJJ9ZZzvf8

Visited with students and gave slide talks two days ago- and pulled tubes with some very talented students yesterday. Gonna give another demo for UW glassblowing students today.

It's like my birthday came early with the tubes. Gonna make a video at some point to share the glassblowing fun- but Amber Mans an Skye Xollo were SO helpful, with Amber having blown glass since they were very young, and learning to pull tubes from my favorite tube puller in Tacoma.

I saw wonderful undergrad and graduate student work, seen here are Amber's "two truths and a lie" tubes covered in black glass powder and resist sandblasted through (I pulled some of that black/ brown). A studio visit with Morgan, a third year grad student was very neat- their ceramic and neon sculptures playing with texture, dementia, memory, and structure- integrating the neon and clay quite nicely.
