Wow this is the best beginners tutorial I've watched. I've been watching glass videos for months and none of them have explained everything from the torch and the oxygen and propane like you have, I understand it now. And also the way you have explained applying the glass to the mandrel makes way more sense to me now. I wish I had found your videos early. Thankyou so so much for sharing.

Teaching is one of the best ways to progress yourself. I taught horn in two universities and younger kids too, and performed professionally for over 25 years..I always told students that it’s not the most talented ppl who win auditions and get tenure, it’s the ppl who learn to consistently solve their problems. Unless you’ve actually thought about all your processes and something changes, you don’t know how to fix things. I’d imagine any shape other than a sphere would have uneven cooling/heat transfer and be more prone to issues.

Please, don't be so shy, your videos are really a treasure even for people who are not completely new to lampwork but have wasted some pounds (or kgs 😊)'of glass and still need to brush up some basic skills or want to expand their potential. 40 minutes of a video of a base bead (hours for setup, recording, making video, thinking how it will be seen and understood) means a huge investment of time and efforts. I have just one question - when you weave glass in the "thread mode" do you care about possible air pockets between the threads? Or slow heating allows the air leave the narrow spaces without being trapped inside?

@@ekaterinaabramova4139 Hello again! You are exactly right that the heat process itself, heating from the exterior in towards the core, usually resolves the trapped air bubble issue. In fact I mention it in my newest Video Tutorial "Fun & Easy 5-Bead Set - Squishing, Avoiding Air Bubbles".

I think your video is very well done. It is basic but I have not been torching very long and am also self teaching; so I do like the basic tips and will try some of the recommendations that you showed. Will be following you and hope you continue with the tutorials.

I am so excited about this! The way you are teaching is incredibly on point for how my brain works. This perspective and detail is invaluable. I’m going to be working my way through your videos. I’ve been searching for a medium that not only is an outlet for my creativity, but feeds the nuances of rigidity my body and mind craves. I’m delighted. Thank you for sharing!

Why doesn't the yellow glass stinger break or crack when you put it down?
@fauxurfancy Жыл бұрын
This is fantastic! Thank you for showing your technique you developed. So by annealing the bead in the torch you do not need to put it in a kiln? What is your insulating material in the bowl? Vermiculite? I have used that. Do you have any videos on how you clean the bead?
@fauxurfancy Жыл бұрын
Ok I see you do put them on the kiln. At what temperature and how long do you put them in kiln?

Ok, I should have watch your video all the way through. Do you clean your beads before you put them into the kiln or after?

I want to get started with 104 soft glass. And I have no clue where to get glass. Every place I've found and looked. Clear was always sold out and my plans involve clear 😅 any tips for glass suppliers
