Glassist Blogs

Fused Glass piece from Cynthia Morgan

I was looking at the stats for Siopa Eile this morning and noticed that Cynthia Morgan's blog had included Siopa Eile in a list of glassist blogs. Ok, I know Siopa Eile is not about Glass Art, but I guess I have Michael Rays photos to thank for that. Cynthia's list is an excellent one though and I've been thinking for a while.... that it would be great to have a list of the top artisan bloggers in the world. There are hundreds of them out there but no central place where you can access them.
So I've decided to start a list. I would encourage all the artists contributing, to try and seek out blogs that  they really like. Let me know and I will add them to the list.

Just picking a few highlights from Cynthia's list now.

Kilnformed Amber and Vanilla 'drop' vessels by scottish glassist AJSimmons on her blog Corsock Glass

One of the pieces of a quilt designed by 26 different glass artists from 6 different countries. Great idea.

Note Cynthia is a long term blogger and gets several hundred visitors to her blog each day and she too argues strongly in favour of artisan blogging.

Thanks for the mention of the Glass Quilt Collaboration. I'm the coordinator of this project and we actually had 32 artists involved in creating the online quilt. Most are from the US and Canada, but we have artists from Northern Ireland, Finland, and as far away as Africa. I'm in the process now of collecting all of these fantastic glass quilt tiles (and adding a couple more artists along the way) for assembly and donation to Sacred Heart Children's Hospital Foundation in Spokane WA - hopefully the donation and unveiling will take place sometime next month.

Thanks again!
