		<description><![CDATA[Hey, folks; I&#8217;m in the process of updating my enormous casting resources page and I need your help. I&#8217;m adding new categories such as adhesives &#38; sealants, coldworking and casting instruction (and I mean REAL, intensive glass casting classes). I&#8217;m also checking old listings and making sure they work. At some point (soon, I hope) [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Strolling the Pearl (a favorite occupation I hardly ever get to do these days), I spied a big cast glass sculpture in the window and stopped in to see who made it.

"He's from Israel, really talented artist," said the clerk.

"Ahh...and that one?" I pointed to  a big blown dinosaur-like piece, reminiscent of Tagliapietra.

"Celotto, from Italy."

Hmmm. "How about that one?" and I indicated a series of flat, fused (ooops, sorry, Lani) kilnformed panels on the usual powder-coated steel stands.

		<description><![CDATA[If you mix frit colors--as all pate de verre and frit painting artists do with abandon--you quickly learn about reactivity between colored glasses. Try warming up the chill BE Salmon Pink with a little BE Medium Amber, and the resulting sludgy grey-brown will stick in your mind forever.

Or so I thought. At a beginning casting workshop recently, one of my students complained that it was tough to simply remember what reacted with which. Or worse, when they combined glasses from two manufacturers, they couldn't find any reactivity info at all, which apparently resulted in some unpleasant surprises.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How do you give non-casters a taste of pate de verre making..in less than four hours?

That was the assignment, anyway. It was the Portland chapter's turn to host the Oregon Glass Guild's annual state meeting, and we wanted to do something a bit special.

We decided on a theme of Stretch Your Wings, and gave it multiple meanings. First, we meant "stretch your wings by reaching out to the community." Instead of focusing on personal enrichment, this time we'd make art for the community, a glass quilt to be installed in a local hospital. Everyone who came would make at least one 6x6 inch tile for the quilt.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[...and consequently I have no idea where to sit.

To put it more understandably, Bullseye just unleashed a new website design on the world and in the process broke a whole boatload of links to stuff. Bullseye's technical documents are pretty much without peer in the art glass industry; I link to them a LOT.

This means that a whole boatload of links in MY blogposts are now busted, as a result. And that means that I am an unhappy camper.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So here's one more reason to buy an iPad (as if I needed one): Bullseye's just released a very cool little IOS app for glassists, and it works on iPhone, iPod Touch and...(drumroll)...iPad.

It's a collection of Bullseye tools and educational documents, pretty much what you find on Bullseye's website, including tipsheets and technical notes. There's a Fahrenheit/Celsius converter in there, weblinks to the Bullseye Gallery, their online store and other parts of the website, and a browseable version of the latest Bullseye catalog.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA["I'd much rather have you in the booth, instead of helping with setup," she said, and I felt a mild tingle of pride.

"I suppose," I said modestly, "You want your best *people* people out front, interacting with the public."

"No, it's just that schlepping pedestals isn't exactly your strong suite," she replied, "I saw you working setup last time."

That's what I love about New Yorkers: You never have to wonder what they're thinking.]]></description>

    I just wanted to send you a quick thanks for imparting your wonderful

		<description><![CDATA[Woke in the wee hours Monday night to thunder rumbles and flashes of day-bright light. PDX weathermen had predicted fair weather, so naturally glassland was having one of its rare thunderstorms.

I snuggled down into the covers and purred, listening to rain drumming on the skylight. No way was I sleeping through this, so I after awhile I pulled out Izzy the 'Pad and started figuring out how to respond to some rather odd emails. Finally decided the best way was to simply put them in a post.

The first three are pretty direct (I'm paraphrasing only slightly, mostly to avoid embarrassing anyone):]]></description>

More particularly, I love having coldworked by hand.* I&#8217;ve so far found nothing to match the incredible, silky finish you get with hand-coldworking a piece of glass, so I was really interested in Paul Tarlow&#8217;s new book, Coldworking Glass without [...]]]></description>
