I am needing some help with kiln repair for an Olympic Kiln. Does anyone have a great kiln repair person in the Portland area they would recommend? Thank you!

Greetings,

I have about a tablespoon of my father’s ashes I would like incorporated into a piece I can put on a window sill. I have seen from an artist that used to be located in Hood River what amounted to paperweights with a swirl of color and rolled in a loved one’s ashes. I was thinking of something like that. I would enjoy hearing about any ideas you might have.

I was wondering if anyone in your group knew someone who is good at photoshop.  I am looking for someone who can teach me how to crop, duplicate, and customize an image of glass to help visualize custom multi-piece projects.  You can contact Kyle at (503)707-6988.  glassbykyle@gmail.com

Does anyone know who has a Wizer to make a special cut?

thanks

Many years ago while on vacation I visited an art gallery near the Oregon coast and purchased this fascinating art glass. It measures 4” on each side however one side is angled. It is signed with an etching pen but I can’t make out the name as it is very small. I am hoping someone in your organization might recognize the piece and identify the artist. I rotate it every now and then to get a new interesting view.  jdebess@flash.net

I need help with a repair.
The artist John Nutter in B.C. sent me a glass feather which broke in transit. It is a clean break. He says it is a simple fix with UV glue. One of you would know. Is there someone who would help me fix this piece? I’m in SE but would bring the piece. See below. It’s about 14″ long.
Hopefully

HI! It’s almost my birthday, and I have decided to treat myself to a wonderful SAW! Can’t afford a new one, so I am reaching out to see if anyone might have a Taurus Ring Saw. I can’t wait to as Beyonce would say “put a ring on it!”  Contact me at bridget.culligan@gmail.com. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know where I can purchase any or all that is left of Uroboros 60-93.  Most companies are out – Uro by Yoc isn’t making that color.  I’m hoping that someone has a stash of it and is willing to part with it at any price.  thanx

A friend of mine recently lost her horse after 24 years and we would like to give her a glass tribute containing the horses ashes. Is that possible?

Thanks, Donna Harding.

PNW Glass Guild Member Debbie Cross: I am requesting donations for the Furball, a big gala in May and this year’s theme is Cattyshack/golf.  We expect over 250 attendees. I’m trying to help with procurement for their auction and thought I’d reach out to some fellow glass artists. I understand they always do well with art.

I volunteer for the Feral Cat Coalition of Oregon, a non-profit group that spays and neuters feral cats preventing literally millions of unwanted cats on the streets. Last year they helped over 8000 cats. Their biggest fundraising event, Furball, is coming in May.

If you happen to have something you could donate, or know someone else who could, it would be greatly appreciated. Anything cat themed really does well at these events. Donors will be listed in the program book. I could, of course, pick anything up.

If you would like to know more about FCCO, go to http://www.feralcats.com/who-we-are.

Best,

Debbie Cross

Those who do stained glass may remember the fasson paper that Cline Glass used to sell. For those who don’t, it’s a white vinyl (like contact paper) product approximately 24×24 inches. I have had a supply of it that is quickly dwindling as, for the last 13 years, I have had my glass students use it for their patterns. I would love to know if there is a distributer/supplier out there. If you know of a source please let me know. Thanks in advance! Sharon Dunham dunhamsw@frontier.com

Hi there! I have a unique question/request!

I work for Rogue Ales and Spirits and we are planning an event for pre-Valentine’s Day (in order for people to create gifts). We’d love to have an engraver come to our event and engrave glass bottles for our attendees. (We want a professional to handle the actual engraving.) Along with this activity, we’ll be doing spirits tastings and have some card-making supplies, so it should be fun! We’d pay an hourly rate for the event. Let me know if glass engraving is something y’all do and if you’re interested in attending the event at Rogue Eastside Pub on February 10th. Thanks so much!
