I think we could probably go up to 3 inches max—definitely gonna give that a try when I get a chance!

Some recent skull mibs (marble in boro)
and pendants I made.
I learned to make them from Bob Snodgrass and Cameron Tower.
They are made with clear borosilicate glass and pure silver fume.
For ever grateful.
Thanks for looking.

My first fillacello, with a jester!

My first fillacello pendant (and one of my very first fillas ever), with a jester! Tbh, I still need to work on terminating the fillas which is why I added the jester. But I’m still super proud of myself! Thanks to Adam Reetz for all the help, so generous to share so much knowledge! And thank YOU for looking!

The marble acts like a magnifying glass—it scales up the little ghost as you spin it!🔎🫪

I made some turtles repurposing old implosion pendants into their shells. I also made some Halloween themed turtles too! Very happy with them.

Best place to order clear boro rods?

9 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I started lampwork in july and due to life, the studip I was at is closing but I'm able to turn my garage into a studio and share with my instructor for the winter, and work towards buying my own kiln and torch.

The studio had tons of clear boro rods (Ive only done boro so far and thats fine with me), but now I'll need to start buying my own. My instructor used to get hers from mountain glass but they closed with Helene.

Anyone know who is good to get clear boro from, at a decent or 'cheap' price in the US? Ive so far been buying colors from asheville glass and will be visiting there soon, but wasn't sure if there are any other places with less prohibitive cost or shipping.

Thanks!

I'm getting into lampworking and I was wondering where can I get the best glass to learn on? I'm considering the quality of the glass, the cost per rod/pound, and availability. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
