El Scorcho Posted January 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Bubblegrower, not yet! It's on my bucket list to give it a go, though. El Scorcho just happens to be one of my favorite Weezer songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jipo Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Sick do you ever do apprenticeship type work or teach classes? I've always been extremely intrigued by glass blowing but never knew anyone remotely involved with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeekyGal Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Hello All! I may be a bit biased as the artist is my husband, LOL but I will let the work speak for itself. He has been blowing glass for 16 years. You can see more of his work on Facebook: www.facebook.com/likeamothtotheflame Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LansingAreaCaregiver Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I know OZ in East Lansing used to do live, custom glass blowing. It was super cool to go in shopping there and watch the guys blow. Something I've always wanted to do... They closed up in EL earlier this year, but I think they may have reopened in Lansing?

JChimpo Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Do you place any of your pieces out in any other shops? I was at 'Blown' in Old Town Lansing and they had some exquisite pieces there by a MI artist (of course... I don't remember his name now, doh). The etched initials were either PD or DP. Just wondering if he were you? DP is for Dan P. I met him a couple time when he worked for FLOW, when it was still open in Birmingham. I had talked with him about blowing me a custom ashcatcher. I was in "blown" 2 weeks ago and the lady told me he relocated to the TC area. Here is his gallery http://www.glasspipes.org/Gal17205_Dan_P_s_Gallery.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Spackler Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 i recently purchased an HMK curve similar to the one below that is 45 degree angle and 10mm. i am having a hard time finding a pipe that is 10mm and it looks like i need to have one custom made. i am located in SE michigan (macomb county) and was wondering if anyone can make me something or know someone i can contact about making a piece to fit this?
