I'd stopped by to get some kiln pins for one of my kilns and inquire about repair on another. A few years ago, papers were developed that don't burn off at temperatures required to fuse glass. These can be cut or torn and combined with each other and glass paint and fused between pieces of glass to create interesting effects like these examples on display.

Glassline paints, developed right here at Clay Art Center are now displayed by the entrance to the restrooms. Wouldn't it be fun to make something like this for one's garden?

Speaking of Linda's inspiration, here's another shot of my red room ready for it's inaugural get together. Candles are lit and the guests will be arriving any minute.

The official and very friendly greeter was on duty.
