Solinglass - Winter - The American Craft Council Show

looking out my front door!

                           

 Reconstructed!


     It's hard to believe another year has come and gone! We have made a lot of changes around the Solinglass Hot shop. Last you knew we were under full construction ; biting our nails and praying all these crazy ideas would work! Well........................

GOOD NEWS!

Randi lighting up the new glory hole.

We have successfully finished building and piping in the new glory hole! as well as updating our 9 year old furnace to be more efficient with a Recuperater! This will preheat the air going into the furnace and not take so much energy to keep the furnace going! Let's hope it works! The Glory Hole is so efficient that we have been turning it down by 10 or 11 am! So far, we are all happy with both BIG changes! The glass coming out of the furnace is amazing to work with and a lot more bubble free; which will help us spend a little less time on each piece! Thank you Mr. Charlie Correll for your fine work; and working fine with us! We miss having you around!     Charlie's site!  (click here)
