Glass Cutting for the nervous


My article "Glass Cutting for the Nervous" has now been published on the CGGE website. It's aimed at beginners to glass cutting or as a refresher for glass artists who are coming back to the skill. Although glass cutting is a skill, it is an easy one to learn as it only really requires two things: confidence and practice. I really like cutting strange or small shapes as I enjoy the challenge. Glass cutting is one of my favorite tasks and Bullseye is my favorite glass to work with.
Read it here http://www.cgge.org/articles.aspx and let me know your comments or further suggestions.

  1. I liked your article, but I didn't see safety glasses mentioned in the safety tips. I think safety glasses are at least as important as wearing closed shoes. Cute fish!

  2. How right you are! And, as I once got a large sliver of glass in my eye, I should know better and should have mentioned safety glasses. (It's a case of "Do as I say" not "do as I do") Thanks for your input.
