Wednesday

Brent is working in the studio this evening. We are in the midst of creating a slew of things for the spring and summer.
Wednesday is date night for me. We schedule it every Wednesday. It really is very nice.
We will be working on Thursday evening, Saturday and Sunday too.
Keep it centered.

Glass and Oklahoma

I believe that Oklahoma is on the cusp of something great. We have great weather, great people, great attractions, great cost of living. Granted we rank at the top of most social ills scales too but the offset of wonder is to great to ignore.
We need glass blowing studios in this state. We need the OKCMOA to receive a grant to build a full scale art glass facility in the city. We need Dale Chihuly or Randy Walker to come in and create a premiere place for glassblowing and learning the art of working with all mediums of glass. I could do this too with the right funding. If you have about a half of million dollars you are willing to invest in the future of this state give me a call.

Types of Glass - Materials Here is a good site with information on the elements that go into glass.

We will be working in the studio this afternoon. Drop by if you get the chance.
Keep it centered.

KFOR - Glassblowing at Blue Sage Studios

Here is the Channel 4 story on the Blue Sage Studios and glassblowing. It is really a great spot. You will need a fast connection to view the video. Many thanks to Galen Culver for coming out and featuring the studio on his program.

Wednesday work

Brent should be out at the studio this evening. If you are interested in glassblowing classes Wednesday is a good evening for learning. Drop us a line if you get the chance.
We will be working Thursday around 5:00 p.m. Drop by the studio if you have the oppertunity.

Technocrati

I am trying the tags at technocrati. It looks like an interesting service. glassblowing

Is this a great state or what

Tonight Blue Sage Studios was featured on Channel 4 is this a great state or what with Galen Culver. I have not see it but heard good things. I will try to find out if it will air again and let everyone know. The spot is not yet posted to the channel four web site but when it is I will post up a link.
Keep it centered.

New Week

It is a new week. We are blowing today around 4:00 or so. Looking forward to a good day. The Studio is coming together. We are starting to get a good stock of glass for up coming art shows. The Run for the Arts in Stillwater will be our first Spring show.
Wichita was great. Chris was able to get a great deal on a furnace. I am looking forward to seeing it up and running. This should be a good week. Have fun.
Keep it centered.

Wichita

We are heading up to Wichita on Thursday around 5:00 am. Chris, Drew and I are going to look at a furnace for Chris, some blowpipes, a diamond marver, and various tools. Secondary to the trip, and the reason to go so early, is to head over to Rollin Karg's place to watch them work. I still can't find a link to his website. I am looking forward to the trip and all the things that lie in store.
I am not sure if we will be back for blowing on Thursday night yet or not. Be sure to call if you are planning on heading out to the studio to check and see.
Keep it centered.

Glass Blowing on Tuesday

We are blowing on Tuesday around noon at the studio. Wednesday about the same. Come on by and see what we have been up too. We made a bunch of oil lamps yesterday and ornaments too. Today and wednesday we will probably focus on vases, bud vases, hummingbird feeders?, and more.
Thursday we are heading to Wichita for the day. Rollin Karg has some good stuff going on and we are going to check out what they are making. I can't find a link on their website.
Friday blowing in the morning, taking Saturday off and back for Sunday evening.

Spring Break

At the Blue Sage Studios glass blowing will continue during Spring Break. Whereas I thought I would be going to Santa Fe, NM for the break I have decided not to take that trip. We will be working in the studio most of the break. I look forward to see everyone. Drop by and watch. Call and make a time and we can fire it up just for you too. I hope everyone has a good one.
Keep it centered.
If you get the chance go see the Dale Chihuly glass exhibition over at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art. It can change your life and the way you see the world. Sort of a Suessian kind of experience.

Thursday Blowing

We should be out there working on Thursday around 4:00 or so. Brent has to work at 501 Cafe that evening but Drew, Cali, maybe Chris and I will be working right along.

Spring Break

We are looking at the schedule for Spring Break next week. It looks like Brent will be working during the day some. Very few evenings next week. I will get more details out in the next couple of days.
We blew Christmas Oranaments last night and some new oil lamps. Brent, Cali and I filled up one annealher with those and the other about half full with vases. It was a great night.
Brent will be out over the next couple of days and I will be blowing on Thursday evening. We may be working on Friday after school to but I am not sure yet.
Keep it centered.

His Glassworks Diamonds and Glass

His Glassworks Diamonds and Glass This is a great place to find diamond disks for grinding glass. Check out thier site if you get the chance.

Weekend Blowing

We will be blowing off and on this weekend. Today until sometime. Saturday until about 4:30 or so. Sunday normal times I suppose. Come on out and see what we are up too.

Blowing Tonight

We will be working this evening in the studio. It looks to be a great day for hot glass work. We are working on vases and bowls right now. Brent blew a lot of Christmas Ornaments on Wednesday. We should have a good stock of c-balls for shows this summer so everyone can get an advance move on the holiday season.
Zack is in town this weekend and we will be working some on Friday and Saturday and Sunday if all goes well. Come on by but you may want to call first. 405-473-0754.
Keep it centered.

Brent Jacking

Another one of Brent and Chris. Brent is jacking the neck line of his glass. The jack line allows the glass to break off the blowpipe with relative ease.

The New Pipe Warmer

This is the new pipe warmer Brent built. You have to heat the blowpipes and punties in order for the glass to stick. This pipe warmer allows for good control of the propane but also has forced air to create extra heat. Very cool, or should I say hot.

Blowing Glass

Here is a photo of Brent working with Chris in the background and Cali too.

Monday Night

We were blowing glass last night when Angela called. She was bringing home pizza and wings from 2 Brothers Pizza in Arcadia. We went up and ate and then back to blowing and in about 15 minutes walks Chris and he has two pizzas from his place Italian Jim's in Yukon. Good night for Pizza.
Brent is working on a new series of pieces. Beautiful colors. I will try to get a photo soon. Speaking of photos...
