hello all. my name is Jon and I'm a newbie in this whole glass game. I work out of North Carolina and I'm 20 years old. iv been at it off and on now since i was 18. I'm completely self taught and dying for advice and fellow lamp workers to melt glass with. I really appreciate this site and everyone who slaves and sweats in the name of creating glass art. glass is my life and I don't see an end to it any time soon. thanks to all who have stopped by to check out my work. any comments or cc are welcome and appreciated. thanks again to everyone who is active on glasspipes.org for all your inspiration and help whether you knew you were giving it or not.
