- Phase Separation Good or Bad?: We are all familiar with the old adage that "oil and water don't mix". Most of us have made a salad dressing by mixing olive oil and water and watched as two distinct layers are formed with a meniscus or curved layer separating the two. Because very little mixing occurs between the two layers they are said to be "immiscible" or unmixable. What does this have to do with glass you ask? .........

- Boro Fusing Project Update by Henry Grimmett - To make larger pieces, faster many of the techniques of furnace work are being integrated into flameworking. It is no longer unusual to see a 2-lb coffee can glory hole on a bench next to a torch or the use of 40gr “color pots”. Another technique being explored by many lampworkers utilizes an old tool, the kiln.

- Relieving Stress! - by Henry Grimmett - Stress is everywhere; in our lives, in our glass; it just doesn't seem right. The good news is that stress in glass can be understood and controlled.

There have been some excellent materials written for the artist over the last 3 years on annealing. In this article I examine some of the common question such as "why does my piece break after 6 months?" ...
