First posting
Hello - I've also been lurking for a while and finally got the nerve to post. I gradually got into glass fusing last year - I'm definately just a beginner but am having a lot of fun. Quite a few "accidents" too but so far have not burned or killed anyone! I've only done a few things but I have plans for so much more! Any, please take a look and let me know what you think.
Thanks!

The best thing I did was get Brad Walker's book on warm glass. It really does an excellent job of taking you through beginner's steps (like the glass coasters project!). Now I can't wait to try some of the more advanced stuff like pot melts (once I get up the nerve, that is!).
I didn't do a whole lot to finish the bowls, just tried to grind the edges till they were more or less round by eyeballing it, then fire polished. One of the things I want to work on is doing cold working and see what kind of effects I can get with that.
Thanks for looking and the kind comments. I've got another bowl ready to slump today in my one and only mold. I want to get a more rounded bottom but I haven't found a decent wok in my thirft store searches - but I know there's one out there with my name on it!

try a restaurant supply store. the one i go to has about 5 different sizes, from 12" to 36".Roderick Sulte wrote:I want to get a more rounded bottom but I haven't found a decent wok in my thirft store searches - but I know there's one out there with my name on it!
