Glass Craft and Bead Expo 2019 Recap

This year, we made our debut at the Glass Craft & Bead Expo in Vegas. Chuck & Jennifer had a great time meeting everyone.

We talked to a lot of people and are so very grateful to everyone who stopped by and supported us.

We had one of our Mini Dragon glass furnaces on display at our tech booth.

New Product: Double Big Dragon

The Double Big Dragon furnace/glory hole combination is fantastic for sculptural work. With two working ports, the Double Big is excellent for production, bit working, and/or running efficient workshops. The larger crucible and opening can accommodate for a bigger ladle, making it also excellent for ladle casters. Take it on the road or use it in your studio!
