Every couple of months we get this question. Here's our latest reply:While some books are very good about telling you how to blow glass, and while you probably could eventually learn the craft by reading and experimenting on your own, you'll shorten the learning curve considerably (and save LOTS of money) by taking a class from someone who's been blowing glass for quite a while.If you're good at

Where can I go to learn How to Blow Glass?We get asked that question a lot. And we try to answer each inquiry individually. But in order to provide you with more information, and to save us some time, here's our answer:So you want to learn how to blow glass...First off, do you want to do the kind of glassblowing where you use a blowpipe and dip molten glass out of a furnace?Or do you want to blow

Wow! It's almost the end of August already. Where has my Summer gone?We've had a rather busy Summer so far. First there was a week-long trip to Michigan in June. Then a ten-day trip to the Southwest in July. (How can people stand to live there when it's over 100 degrees for days on end?)Finally, we spent most of the first three weeks of August moving my wife's office to a new location closer to

Happy April to you all!Spring has arrived, the flowers are starting to bloom, and at least here in the Pacific Northwest, April showers are in full flow!Time to crawl out of our caves, and see what else is going on in the world.One thing that's just around the corner (well, it's not 'til June, but you need to sign up right away) is the annual Glass Art Society (G.A.S.) conference.Every year the

Fledgling Studio Glass ArtJust a quick post today. I'll go into more detail in a couple days.We've just finished our first digital book reprint. We're calling it an e-print™ for lack of a better name. And we hope you'll take a look.Right now, it's only available on eBay®.Look for the "Glass Blowing Scientific Torch Art eBook". It's an obscure, out-of-print text on Lampworking. And it's far from

Fledgling Studio Glass ArtWow! Where has the time gone. I thought it would be an easy matter to post something here every few days, and it's now been 4 months!I promise I'll try to do better.

It's been quite a while since I've posted a Fledgling Studio update, but that doesn't mean there hasn't been anything new added to our website.Seems like I'm constantly making small changes - fixing broken links... tucking in another book title... adding a new glass link...I hope you're not just sitting there, waiting for me to tell you EVERY time there's something new.Bookmark our main site:

Fledgling Studio Glass ArtSomebody asked the other day "Why should I sign up for your e-mail updates? Just what kind of website improvements are coming up that I'd want to know about?"Good question!So far, we've listed several pages worth of books from our Glass Library. Each title is linked (or soon will be) to Amazon.com's network of independent booksellers, so you can find copies to add to

Fledgling Studio Glass Art Our new updated website has been up for a little over a week now. We're still finding broken links, unfinished links, and a few other minor bugs. Thanks to those of you who've pointed them out, and who've tipped us to some new things to add. It looks like the next wave of improvements will be ready about mid-June. Stay posted. We'll tell you about it here second (right

Fledgling Studio Glass Art It's live! The new, revised and expanded Fledgling Studio website is now up and running. We've checked all of the links (we think) and everything seems to be working OK. There's a new format with lots more glass books and a bunch of new glass links.

Our website at www.FledglingStudio.com has been pretty much the same for quite a while. At least for the last couple of years.Well... Now we're finally making some soon-to-be visible changes.We're updating our lists of glass books. You'll soon be able to step into our virtual "library" and see what's "on our shelves" by subject.We're working on several new glass reprint projects, including
