I think that is everything, I’m sure I missed some! Lol let me know if I did.

Most of our items can be found from Mountain glass. We actually purchase about 80% of our items from our local glass supply shop Grey Matter Glass.
We do this because we like to support local business. Plus the guys who run the place are awesome!   / greymatterglassshop  

Mountain Glass also sells starter kits for anyone interested in starting their Lampwork journey. These come with all the basics. And are definitely worth trying at first. We knew what we wanted when we set up so just pieced our studio together. Here is a link for starter kits. https://www.mountainglass.com/…/…/gla...

I think that’s about all I can say about that!
