Where to GO to buy glass tubing and rods for lampwork?
hey guys, i wanna know where i can go to in person to buy rods and tubing for glass blowing. i know i can purchase them off the internet, but i would rather go and pick the supplies up in person. Like what stores for example? thanks!
Unless you live in one of a very few cities, you are going to have to have it shipped to you. Some of the products, especially soft glass tubing can be had from sign supply companies for neon tubing work.
Many people who do bead work with torches use compatible stained glass intended for fusing, cutting it into strips.
Check out www.hotglass.com for sources. If you happen to live in those places, you can drive to buy it. www.arrowsprings.com is (I think) in Colorado and http://www.waleapparatus.com/ is on the east coast.
