You should stop at the "Rock Barrell" it has pretty much everything. They use to sell limited glass rods but I think they stopped. It is in north Dallas. If you have a tax exempt license that will get you 30% off a total of $15 minimum.

It's my toy store of choice!

The store actually sits in a plaza. You can call them for directions and be sure to visit their website. If you go to the "Company Profile" link, you will see a layout of their store.

Suite 104
13650 TI Blvd.
Dallas, TX 75243
972-231-4809

Enjoy your visit to Dallas! There is so much to see and do here!

For one stop shopping of everything you listed, I'd recommend Wired Up Beads in Grapevine. It's about 30 minutes from Dallas, but I'd be happy to take you. There are bunches of good beading stores here.

My apologies, Ana Maria, I thought Delphi was in Dallas for some reason! I'll be more careful next time.

DON"T MISS KETTRELL/RIFFKIND. It's also one of the best glass galleries in the country. It will knock your socks off.

Kittrell is not too far from the Rock Barrell. It is north in the town of Addison. Again, not much in the way of rods, (but much more than the Rock Barrell) but they do have alot of sheet glass in COE 90 and 96 and yes, it's a beautiful glass gallery!

This. They have Moretti and some Double Helix and a few tools, murrini, and a little frit too I think. BOOKS! They have glass books and you can also pick up the most recent issue of The FLow. If you've never read that magazine you really should. Every year they do an issue on women in glass, it's awesome.

...and on your way to Wired Up Beads stop in Grapevine. I know there is a glass shop there but the name escapes me. I know other's out in that area can fill in the details. If you time your visit just right, you might be able to be at Wired Up Beads when they have the Grapevine Bead Society meeting.

I didn't know KR was selling DH glass now. It's been sooo long since I've been out there.

Thank you all for your information.
I was in Dallas until 25 June. I loved it! a very beautiful city. I visited the Dallas Museum of Art. Stunning!!!!! I visited an aquarium, I did an extensive tour of Dallas. (Restaurants and other)

I visited Kittrellriffkind, and I bought glass rod, and they gave me the mud . Excellent attention. There are wonderful works in the Galerie. Spectacular.
I also visited Rock Barrell, there is everything, I bought many things and my companion had to get me out of the store, because I wanted to buy it all!!!!!.
I visited Splendor, is much more expensive than Rock Barrell, but, they had beautiful silk ribbon and copper chains.

On my next trip will visit Austin (Maybe, hopefully, I meet Corina Tettinger, I'm dreaming!!! ) and San Antonio.

Thank you all!!
Ana María
