I've sent an e-mail to the website to be considered for the gallery. It's an image of the fused work I sent to NGR. They don't tell you what they accept, so I'm not sure if the fused work is in or if it's my blown work. You can also check out my gallery's website http://www.vetriglass.com/ Go to art...

I was accepted to NGR, I'm not sure if it was for blown work or fused work, I sent images of both. No light bulbs here. Fused work will have it's day sooner than later.

I've cleaned the glass with 70% isopropyle alcohol, and have attempted to clean my kilns enviornment by high firing and venting. Still devits. So I must resort to ov...

Yes it's Bulleye fusible and compatible, I called BE and they said once a kiln has been "contaminated" there is nothing you can do to fix, well they didn't know of any way to fix it, and suggested this website. I haven't had much luck with oversprays, is there one which is more highly reco...

Hi, my name is Sean, I have question regarding the contamination of the atmosphere in an older kiln I’m using. I’m fusing Bullseye glass and have had devitrification problems. I put all new elements in the kiln, and am positive the kiln is powerful enough to reach desired temperatures at speeds ...
