OK I also want to know...
1) What is your all time fav frit? you can pick one soft and one boro...
2) What is the most important thing you would tell a lampworker who wants to get into the business end of things.
3) I know there are threads about Raku all over the place but what is your secret!?!

NOt all about specific glass beads, but it will keep you busy!! This is really awesome of you Kalera!


The base color is Bullseye Peoni Pink!

1. ONE FRIT??? probably R-108 for soft glass, and definitely GA Amazon Bronze in boro!

2. For every hour you put into lampworking, you will need two hours to run your business and promote your work, so if you torch 20 hours a week you should expect to work 60 hours a week.

3. Seriously, I don't do anything special! I just melt it and it comes out like that. Barracuda torch, two concentrators, usually natural gas but sometimes I switch to propane just for giggles.
