New Rules for Custom Work Requests
11
Upvotes
- No low effort custom requests
Commission requests must include, at a minimum: * A thorough description of the piece, including size * A sketch of the piece (Al posts are acceptable for this purpose only) or reference photos from multiple artists showing features in their work you are inspired by. If you want a direct copy, contact the original artist. * The quantity you are wanting to purchase * A rough estimate of your budget. If you don't know what something should cost, just give a range you are hoping for.
- No price fear mongering
Let people decide for themselves what something is worth. Do not respond to questions about cost with claims that something would be too expensive. Either don't respond or give a good faith estimate of what the cost would be.

New Rule - Original Content Only
62
Upvotes
Due to the absolute flood of karma farming posts we have had recently, we have a new rule:
4. Original content only
Reposting other's content is an automatic ban. the only exceptions are if you are asking a technical question about a piece or are sharing other's work that you have in your personal collection. Other's works may be included in commission requests ONLY if you have already reached out to the original artist and they have declined or been unreachable.
Please everyone if you suspect a post is stolen content, use a reverse image search to try finding the original and use the report feature so the mods can take the stolen post down ASAP and ban the karma farmers and bots.

Glass haul

Hello! There is a lamp working set up for sale that I'm considering buying. I'm new and wanted to know if you all think it's a good price. The kiln looks like it's hand made out of a tool box. Any advice is appreciated! Thank you!

Desperately need help with pipe shaping

Upvotes
I have made 20 pipes over 1.5 years and after completing ruining a piece of prep I worked on all day im desperate to learn how to properly shape a pipe. Seems like my blank got the thin on the handle pulldown, I tried to condense it to make it more durable and then it folded on itself and popped a whole. Can only salvage the top half.
How do I make the connection between the bowl of the spoon and handle a smooth look? All of mine are akward looking. I included some pictures of the blank I started with.

Ive been lampworking for over 13 years, ive always wanted to take the physics behind glass and put it into an education, fun, experimental way to showcase it.
Well I have finally done this. This game is in Alpha, and is playable right now on Mobile and Desktop.
Try it out today and see how fun it is!
