Hey remer 1957, I have not invested in video classes. The videos I have made are posted on UA-cam. I do teach hands on in the studio. Let me know if you are interested in private lessons. Thanks
@@wallyknew Yeah, that sort of limits things. I have had a couple of people fly in from other cities.......but transcontinental? What kinds of things are you interested in learning? John
Hello John... I have enjoyed your videos for quite some time now. It would be important to me if you offered 1-on-1 online consultations as well as specific classes. Invariably, questions pop up after watching your videos that you may not have had time to answer or, had not intended to answer. The 1-on-1's would give those interested an opportunity to discuss things unique perhaps to them. Perhaps 1/2 hr - 1 hr increments. You have an easy going and likeable style that I hope goes a long way in your intended new directions. Be well, safe, and secure. Thank you.
Thank you H. I'm glad you find them useful. You know, folks write me sometimes with follow-up questions about a video. Some questions can be answered easily. Some questions require more in-depth attention to detail. I am available to hire by the hour as teacher/instructor. This runs $150. per hour. It may be done in person, at the shop or online or by phone. Let me know if you would be interested in something like that. Thanks again, John
I was hoping you would come out with more instructional type content. I really hope this is the way you go. I took your words to heart in your 1st video, when you said "anyone can do this" I already had the tools, now I have been etching for close to a year now. Thank you
Hey Jason, Sorry about the boring video. I am just testing the waters so to speak concerning offering art glass classes. Almost all following videos will be full of practical content. Now, as far as my earlier comment, YES, anyone can do this. I know a guy who is NOT an artist and he turns out great work. It can help to be an actual artist but it is not essential. Many of the techniques are a bit mechanical. And often times the design work is done completely on the computer using CorelDraw or CAD. There are enough "tricks" and techniques that do not require drawing skills, etc. but believe me, IF YOU WANT TO STRETCH YOUR ARTISTIC MUSCLES, there is plenty of room for that! The potential for expression and innovation is ENDless!!! But don't get discouraged. If you don't mind, please tell me what tools you have right not. Also, tell me what techniques you are interested in learning. It may help me choose the next project. Thanks for writing Jason. Hope to hear from you again. John
@@cornerstone-glassworks your videos are never boring. I love the art you produce. I have a 20gal compressor, and a couple of harborfreight sand blasters. I have moved from sand over to aluminum oxide, mainly because of my schedule prevents me from using sand and the backpack sand blasting unit I have. I threw together my own cabinet for $40, I really should invest in an crush stand cabinet, and pressure pot, but space must be aquired first. I am interested in carving, I love the depth of feel with it.
@@jasondavis8741 Hey Jason, How many horses is that 20 gallon compressor? Your Harbor Freight sandblasters......... are those syphon feed or pressure pots? It sounds like you don't have enough room to set up shop. What kind of projects are you looking to do? John
My backpack unit is siphon feed, my smaller one is gravity. I don't own a pressure pot (yet another item I need when space permits) and my 20 gal is 1.5 hp of I recall correctly. I would eventually like to have a space big enough to blast a shower door.
Hey Chris, What kind of glasswork are you interested in? What techniques are you drawn to? Check out my website at csgw.com then write of call to explore what strategy you might pursue. Thanks for writing!
John Morrison At the moment, it’s just surface etching various designs, both original/handcut, and plotted, but, I recently got into “3D” glasswork using cut glass over flat panes. I’m still experimenting with that. What I do want to learn next is actual sand carving. I plan on DIYing a heavier sandblaster that I can use for that, however, I don’t really have any experience with airbrushing, so, that’s where I’ll have some difficulty.
Hey Robert, What kind of glass work do you do? How long have you been working in glass? Is it possible to see your work online? I don't think we are going to be producing any DVD packages but I'm sure you would learn a lot by watching our videos. The small collection of video tutorials we have on UA-cam right now are fairly interesting and cover some significant techniques. In the past I would make a video for fun when things would slow down around here. But I am placing a new emphasis on our videos now and I plan to post a new video every week or two. Doing a bunch of glass objects that I have thought of over the years but never took the time to execute. Now I am going to indulge myself and follow up on those ideas. Thanks for writing. Let me know if you have any questions!
Good idea. I would participate.
I would be delighted to purchase DVDs from you too.

I’d definitely be interested. Looking to get into glasswork as a side business.

Eventually, I’d like to get into blowing/lamp work, but that’s farther down the line. I’d like to start making simple trophies as well.
Hi, I would like to learn different techniques through projects. I would purchase DVD's/
