Default Here to learn

Hi Folks,

I am a glass artist with my shop in Santa Cruz CA, I have always worked with metal in conjunction with my glass and in fact started out to be a blacksmith.
I am here to expand my creative capabilities.

In the course of developing my business I am focusing in on lighting and while I am confident that I can produce the glass parts and fabricate and smith the metal frames and armatures, I have noticed a hole in my skill set.

To that end I have acquired a shear an english wheel and a finger brake and the realization that I really have no idea what to do with them.

I am here to learn.
