  • The Seattle picnic is this Sunday 7/20

    Event Reminder

    11 am at Karen Seymour’s house 1 block west of the Seattle Zoo, 5415 Greenwood Ave. N*
    • Bring a dish to feed about 10 people.
    • If you want something other than water to drink bring that too.
    • If you have glass related tools, molds, scraps, etc. that someone else might find useful we can set up a free/trading table (YES, you have to take it away again if no one wants it).

    • We’d also love to see what you’ve been working on if you have something for show and tell. Or if you have a question on how to do something or why something happened, you can ask the experienced glass folks attending.

    Anyone willing to discuss glass, shows etc. is welcome

    There are 2 other Guild picnics this summer if you can’t make it to this one:

    August 16 Guild Picnic, Independence OR (SW of Salem)
    August 30 Guild Picnic, Fairview OR (NE Portland, date changed)

    We hope to see you at least once!

    NOTE: *there may be a construction detour on I-5 northbound at the Ship Canal Bridge this Sunday (it’s re-routed to the North-bound Express Lanes which put you off at 42nd St instead of 50th St). Ask Karen for directions if you are coming from the south and don’t know your way around Seattle.

  • General Meeting via Zoom/In-Person

    Event Reminder

    September 29 @ 3:30 pm – 5:00 pm Pacific Time:via Zoom

    Portland Waterjet will be our host. This will be a live event AND a Zoom for members outside the Portland area.

    Contact the VPs, Barb Kienle and Carlyne Lynch, to submit questions for our panel meeting.

    We will be going to Portland Water Jet (one block from Bullseye Glass) in Portland. The address is 3383 SE 21st Street, Portland, Oregon. They are closed on Sunday and will open JUST for the Guild’s meeting!

    Waterjet cutting directs a high-pressure jet of water and abrasive to cut materials and in our case glass. This process offers a cost-effective solution to repetitive and high-volume production.

    Guild member Carlyne Lynch has drawn seven design ornaments or suncatchers that would be difficult to cut symmetrically. These seven designs with holes included can be ordered by the sheet. You can order a sheet or split one with another member before and after our visit. Now is a perfect time to start holiday items. Please do not ask Portland WaterJet to split your order! Do the split order through the guild and Carlyne, she will arrange with another member to split.

    Process: Call and pay for your glass at Bullseye and leave it with your name on it for WaterJet to pick up. Call and place your order with Portland WaterJet (202-476-9939) and let them know you have glass waiting. Ask for the ornament package and arrange with them for estimated times. Below is a 24″ X 24″ Tekta design sheet. The cost for waterjet cutting the design sheet below on 24×24 inch Tekta is $107, plus the glass itself. 

    We encourage you to attend the meeting to learn more about the waterjet process, even if you are not ready to have any glass cut at this time. Log in and find the Zoom link on the event page or request it
