Did you develop that process? I'm impressed. Jack Hold onto that enthusiasm. There's at least 100 more tutorials and videos yet to post - plus nearly as many new products from "Master Artisan". Watch for them at your favourite distributor. Sweet ! That's pretty cool stuff. I like the West Coast Indian Art quite a bit... (most have no idea what it is...) I own a few Cedar Masks done by an Artist from Vancouver, along with some Jewellery. Popular stuff... Anyway, Since I'm REALLY new to this stuff, I have a couple of questions... - Is that a stencil that they use over the top of the glass, or is that stuff drawn freehand ? - What are both made of.. ? Meaning, kind of stencil would you use so it wasn't blown to pieces....(my cabinet and gun eats glass pretty damn quick) and if drawn freehand, what is used as a mask ? - I did some Inukshuk's that turned out 'not too bad', but I'm kinda lost on the whole process of what you've posted... Where can I find out more ? Cheers, /Jman.. The "stencil" used was regular 8mm vinyl resist. The Moon was drawn freehand and cut out manually. The others where drawn in a computer program and cut out with a plotter-cutter. We have several hundred designs that will soon be offered for sale as precut patterns. Just stick the stencil on the glass, pull out the cut out parts, and it's ready to blast. The projects in the photos were blasted with 100 grit silicon carbide. It took several hours to blast through the 2mm top coat of glass and coarser grit would speed up the job but would leave a rougher surface on the coloured layer below. One of the most attractive features of doing is this way is that fire polishing afterwards puts a gloss sheen on the coloured glass below and leaves a soft rounded edge on the cuts. We had all those in the photos on display at Las Vegas GlassCraft Expo where they generated considerable interest. We already have a quantity of orders for the precut stencils. |

It's a little of many elements of different West Coast Native. As much Haida as Squamish. Those that understand native design know that it incorporates a number of preset design elements. Because the usual native carvings and paintings don't adapt particularly well for stained glass or for sandblasting, the designs we use are our own adaptations. Here's some of my native stained glass designs that have sold extremely well and I've now retired and make available for free use. http://www.glasscampus.com/freepatterns.htm For the Gator**** group and associated hillbillies that assuredly haven't the faintest idea what we're talking about, I recommend they consider the outstanding sculpture on display at Vancouver airport and printed on the Canadiand $20 bill. http://www.coreyhallisey.com/nwc_art...f_haida_gwaii/ |

Precut stencils have been around longer than you have and have never been big sellers. As with many things, it's the design that determines customer support. I came back from Vegas with a pretty lengthy list of interested customers. Whether or not it's a "big seller" isn't especially important. It's just one more product to add to the steadily growing list of "Master Artisan" products we offer to encompass stained glass, kilnforming, hot glass, torchworking, and sandblasting. While you and your backwater companions snivel and cry about being unable to compete with imports, I'm competing head on with them and doing very well at it. Adapt or die. When your business dies, should I send a sympathy card? |

It's just one more product to add to the steadily growing list of "Master Artisan" products we offer to encompass stained glass, kilnforming, hot glass, torchworking, and sandblasting. A "master artisan" buys precut stencils? You bet. Many do. We do a lot of custom cut stencils for sandblasters doing multiple copies that wish to avoid the intensely boring and needlessly labour intensive task of manually cutting out stencils. Just send us your drawing and we'll send back the precut stencils ready to use. Or, chose one from our extensive library of designs. There's little skill required to cut out a stencil so why not let a machine do it for you and do a perfect job? Why would a pro artisan spend time on a $5/hr job when they can instead use their time to do something more valuable? Unless that poor pitiful artisan has so little work they do it themself just to fill in otherwise dead time? |
