Loving the great projects on here - I’ ve been following since being told 8 couldn’t run any more and looking for new hobbies.
I’ve found i’ve really enjoyed glass fusing and would like to buy a small kiln for use at home. Does anyone have one they’d recommend or have any advice please?

Welcome Nickid - no idea about kilns but glass fusing sounds interesting - any pictures?
IM - I admire your patience. I don't think I could do anything that fine since breaking my hand last year.
I'm just revising my crochet to put a border on Girl's blanket

Hello Nickid. I did a glass fusing morning at a local place recently and loved it. The advantage of that is that she had myriad resources and fired it for us to collect. Would like to do another one soon. Having your own kiln would be awesome, I assume you have somewhere suitable? (The place I went she had a purpose built garden building with workspace in one room and kilns in the other)

You are speedy as well as talented. Is it time for another MK meet?

I am currently retired - it speeds up finishing things off, though I will slow down again when other ( non craft) projects that are brewing get going.
And definitely yes to another meet

You need to upload it to the gallery and Male it public. Then copy and paste the image reference into the thread. It’s the bit is square brackets, including the brackets. A bit like [IMG xxx]
