Guys are making a joke, DeBrady would run you in bigger circles than the circles you are currently running in.

Ah, never mind. It's too hard to explain...

There's not a lot of glass blowers on this forum. You might register at

and ask on that forum for someone who does glass blowing. Lots of flameworkers on that forum.

Well the only one i have met by this forum i s a gye called Ed Skeels, do you know him?

/Soeren M

Warm glass.com is mainly about fusing and slumping of sheet glass. That technique does not fit your bill. There are some who do glassblowing, too. A better choice is through craftweb,

-lauri

Dear Lauri,

Thanks i will try that.

Best regards Soeren

BTW Your name, are you in Scandinavia?

-lauri from Finland

Oops! wrong URL. Sorry.

It is

I think mostly the audience is beadmakers, but you could ask if anyone can make what you need.

Dear Lauri,

Yuup i am from Denmark :-)

Do you know any glass blowers that maby can help me?

Nice to meet a gye from Finland :-) you.

Soeren M

Not really. I have met one near Tisvilde. I think the problem is in the tolerances you want. It involves blowibg into a mould, and making moulds is not simple. What you ought to find is really a factory more than an artisan. Search from Chech, poland maybe Baltic. There might be factories or rather manufacture that has experience in short series production.

I think your forms as such are not so difficult. Have you tried to contact schools?

-laurr

Dear Laurr,

I made the first in the Danish Design Scool at their warm workshop and it was an ok price i had to drill all the holes my selve and grind them, now i think that i am redy to go on with a small production of my lighting fixtures so therfore i am looking for a small factory to make the next 500 to 1000 pcs.

I will try to find a company as you sugested in the baltic region.

Thanks Sorern M
