Default Chance for FREE GLASS and publicity for yourself!

Boro Testers Wanted

Momka’s Glass is looking for an array of different artists to do glass testing. We would like experience and techniques to vary.

What you get:
A free sample of the newest glass before anyone else.
A 10% discount on our glass while you’re a tester.
Great publicity.
Your info and a short bio on our website, as well as photo’s of our choice.
And most importantly your voice heard.

What we get:
A broad range of feedback.
Use of all mages for promotion.
And the ability to catch any problems in the glass.

Here are the Rules:
You must do your pieces with only Momka’s Glass (and clear if you like). This will help us rule out problems that might be triggered by other glass.
The testing position will last 6 months with a 2 strikes you’re out program. If you don’t contribute twice you will be replaced, and after the 6 months are up all testers must reapply.

What will be required of you:
After receiving your sample you will have one week to make something. After that a thread will be started by us and you will have one more week to post a picture and give your critique of the glass on a forum(s). It will be fun with a great amount of knowledge shared by all.
You will also have to email us with another set of short questions answered. Our favorite photos will be added to the gallery page on our website.

OK, here’s how you apply:
Send us an email with these short questions answered. It will be a juried process.
Send to momkapeeva@momkasglass.com

Questions: There are no right answers, we’re looking for variety.
1) What torch do you use? _______
2) What kind of Oxygen? Compressed/liquid/concentrator/natural gas
3) Experience in Boro?_______ Other?________
4) Type of work you do? _________ (beads, marbles, sculpture, other)
5) What kind of color do you generally use (opaque, transparent, striking)
6) What forum(s) do you frequent? Where did you see this add?
7) Rate from 1-10 (one being never) how much frit you use.
Do you have a digital camera and the ability to photograph your work?
9) Sample of your work. (Can be an attached photo or a link to a photo/website)

We look forward to hearing from you. Feel free to call, also, if you have any questions 425 776 3417

Oh I would love to be in on this, this would be such a fantastic chance to try new colors, they are just not available at all here in the Netherlands! I hope it's not a problem that I am not from the States, I'd be more then happy to pick up the shipping-bill
