Well I blow glass here in Portland, mostly pendants, necklaces, earrings, and mosaics. I sell my glass at various art shows, art fairs, and at Saturday Market on a regular basis.

I am just starting to find my way into the video editing world so be patient. The videos I have uploaded here are of condensed into mp4 so they loose a lot of quality compared to the originals. sorry...

In ending...I am just sharing some BASIC techniques with whomever. I didnt go take a class from Milon, so I might not be refined in the classical sense like ECH from Melting Pot, but I still hold my own. Sorry my first video is just Black Dog...lol...that wont happen again

Anyways feel free to ask questions or leave nice comments.

Do you make custome pipes and sell them?

Love your work! been watching for a while now, so far I have worked a few years with soft glass, making the switch to boro. How do you manage to blow a hole on both sides of your donut pendant? I cant seem to get that second hole. Thanx.

Do you have any tips on how to get started? I've been reading, and watching videos for the last 2 months to no avail in getting hands on experience. Did you start with soft glass? X_X'' It's just driving me crazy

Thank you kind sir!!!

Rich

Blue Tubing Enclamo Pipe 1of4
May 15, 2007, 05:07 PM
I made this pipe with blue tubing and a piece similiar to the silver fume lightening pendant demo I made. Really you can substitute any of the other pendants I made instead. I like this style of pipe because of the way it lays down and how it doesnt look like a usual pipe.

I/O Stringer w/Frit 1of3 Pipe
April 09, 2007, 05:03 PM
This is a pipe with stringers and frit. It has a bend to the neck and feet to hold it steady. Real simple pipe. I havent made very many pipes recently. However, I had this video from awhile back and thought I would share.
