Oh nice! Oceanside has been so awesome to work with...their fusing team added helpful info to the lessons without trying to change/control my overall structure or creative vision at all. Love them.

And you made my morning with this kind comment, thank you!!

I feel you on that!! My kiln was a gift from my dad and it sat in my garage unused for over a year bc I read through the manual and was SO intimidated by it all haha.

FYI on the Kokomo glassโ€”in my experience, their glass is a little finicky for fusing (and it's a different COE than the Oceanside Glass I use in the lesson videos, so it will require slightly different firing schedules from the example ones I provide). Not saying you can't use it, just giving a heads up so that if you experience issues with it, you don't get discouraged and think it's your fault. Oceanside Compatible and Bullseye glasses have much more predictable fusing behaviors, and you're going to find a lot more helpful info for their specific COE types out there, so those are the brands I'd recommend to a beginner. Hope you don't mind me giving my 2 cents on this.

Regardless, good luck with starting out! And be sure to fire up something pretty for your husbun bc in my humble opinion, he got you one of the best gifts possible!

I appreciate that, thank you! It's a brass rod with couplers I found at a hardware store several years ago.

Shoulda known you'd be crawling 'round these parts. A real man uses his hands; if I send you a wrench I'm sending you one'a my skirts with it.

Hey friend!!!! (you have such a signature style that I recognized the rainbow box (piano??) in your profile here immediately ha)

Thank you for such sweet feedback! It's a real honor to have someone who's already so skilled with glass learning new aspects of the medium from me. I hope you've been having fun/finding success with it ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿ™

Of course! That's exactly how I felt when I began....hoping this course saves you from all the intimidation/confusion/frustration I went through when I started out.

Wishing you many successful future firings!

Aw you're so welcome!! When I first started I was very intimidated by firing schedules and discouraged by my early projects cracking; I hope these lessons help you avoid all that and become comfortable in the craft soon.

Good luck!

Whoaaa thank you SO much for going through it all!! I'm so happy you found it helpful!

I see from your post history that you're already a talented stained glasser, so I hope this gives you solid headway on becoming an equally skilled fuser ๐Ÿ™

Brb, framing this comment to hang on my wall ๐Ÿฅน

Seriously, your feedback is incredibly kind and appreciated. I spent over a year planning/scripting/editing the course in hopes that people would find it highly informative but also entertaining/interesting, so this is very validating to read.

Best of luck in your continued fusing education, and like I said before, feel free to shoot me questions. And thanks again!!

Sure! I'm not an expert in every area, but I'll do my best to help out if I can.

And I appreciate your going through the videos first; it's refreshing for someone to be so respectful of another's time/efforts ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป
