The Houston Glass Fusion Meetup Group

"Hollander Glass will only allow me to bring 5 people with me. Cynthia and Sheryl, since you are the last two to sign up and are #6&7, would you be able to join me on the 16th same time and place? The..."

"I am a fused glass artist working in Katy. I have been doing fused glass for about a year and am always looking for tips and suggestions. Currently, my fused glass is in the Morton Street Gallery, The Pink Magnolia, and The Bookworm Shop."

"Hi, I am like to make jewelry and am interested in glass bead work and art glass in general. I recently returned from a trip to Seattle and I saw and admired Dale Chuly's work. I would like to meet other people who are art glass enthusiasts."

"Hi! I was interesting in your class, I saw some of the glass jewelry and it is beautiful!"

"Announcing a new meeting for The Houston Glass Fusion Meetup Group! What: Field trip When: Wednesday, May 21, 11:30 PM Where: (A location for this meeting hasn't been chosen yet) Who should..."

"Hello! Two years ago I meet a man Cal (Raz) Sugita who brought me into his home and sat down one on one and showed me some of his talent in glass firing marbles. In no time he had me making marbles. It was a blast and now I am hooked."

"Hi Jane, I think it would be a good idea to write the notes and it would probably be good to do that together to write all the tips that we both remember. I'll look at my schedule. I think I could do it Monday afternoon. Maybe we could meet up for lunch or something. Give me a call when you can. Susan"

"I think she called it an emblishment (I can't spell) but I cannot remember the terminalogy. I agree about the getting together and "practicing" and creating. Maybe we can get together with our handouts and talk through what we remember and write out notes. But my week is full until Monday after my meeting. It gets over at 10:30 (approximately). Then our class is Wednesday right? I have to go get organized. Must get my part of the taxes done today too!"

"Thanks for the class today Melissa. I am exhausted. It was fun though. I can't wait to see how everything turns out. I love my pieces from last week. Sorry we ran so late. It just takes awhile to cut so many pieces. See you Wednesday. Email us and let us know how the bowl pieces turned out. Thx. Susan"

"I am exhausted after today's class. It was fun, but I think I will need to write down notes, or I won't even remember what we did. What was the glass pulling called?????? My brain is fryed. I can't wait to see everything though. We'll have to get together and create when this is over. Hope you enjoyed it. See you next week."

"Sounds good to me. We can have a small workshop at my house."

"Hi!!!"

"Hey, Ms Susan, Class was fun and I am looking forward to the next one. I would like to get thru the fusing classes and then we can concentrate on pmc. You'll be certified by then!!"

"Susan, I'm trying to see about taking a class from Melissa. I've had a couple classes, from different instructor. My friend Benjee and I are looking to take something slightly more advanced. She's not into lampworking. I don't think I'd post my lampworking yet. Now my sandblasting, I've very confident in. Are you a member of the Spring art guild(think that's what it is called)?"

"Hi Melissa. I just wanted to say thank you for your class today. I learned so much and really enjoyed my intro into fused glass creation. Your efforts were greatly appreciated. I'm looking forward to seeing you next week to delve deeper into more advanced techniques and to see today's pieces in their final glory."

"Hello! What is water art?"

"Hi, I am an art jeweler in Houston taking advanced jewelry classes as Glassell. I am always interested in learning new things that I might incorporate into my work. I often purchase glass cabochons and lampworked beads and thought I might learn."

"Hello glass enthusiasts. Rather than bombard you all with a bunch of email concerning class schedules and reminders of same, I'm writing to tell you that I will be giving Beginner Glass Fusing classes..."

"Hello, I would like to meet some more people who are interested in glass. I do lampworking and have done some fusing but would like to be able to learn more."

"Hello, I've been fusing for about a year now and would like to be part of a group where I can learn and share ideas. "

"Hi, I am Jane Henderson. I am interested in learning about glass fusion, lamp working as well as pmc. In the past I have created a number of stained glass projects and would like to expand my knowledge into creating glass projects."

"I love to craft with many different mediums. Now i would like to learn glass fusing techniques. "

"Hi there! I stumbled upon this group looking for places to learn fused glass. I've been involved in some sort of artistic thing forever, mostly painting, but did some metalwork in college and now looking to play with some glass too!"

"Hi I've been doing lampwork for a few months and really want to learn how to do fuseing. :)"
