Glassblowing - Flameworking - Lampworking

All three of these names refer to the process which we use to produce our glassblown items.  Lampworking is the oldest term, while Glassblowing is the term most often used, but Flameworking is probably the most accurate.  This method involves the use of a torch on glass rod or glass tubing to make the desired products.  This method is used in both scientific and artistic work.  Please check out all the items in the Glassblowing Menu on the right.

 

Books

MGLS has been publishing books since 1973 -- primarily books on Glassblowing, but also books in related areas and even a few in Chemistry.  The Carberry Glassblowing book is now in its Third Edition and with over 350 detailed color photos.  It has been used in over thirty countries across the world.  Also, consider the excellent "Web-Book" entitled From Russia With Love in the Russian Items Menu.  Consult the menu items on the right.

Breweriana

The term Breweriana commonly refers to any item relating to a brewery or brewery brand name. Examples include beer cans, bottles, openers, tin signs, coasters, beer trays, wooden cases and neon signs.  We have a very wide range of these items for sale and also have Albums showing some excellent examples from our own collection. 

Russian Items

Ed has been interested all things Russian (or Soviet) since the early 1960's.  On this web site we have a wide range of Russian items on display and also for sale.  One special category deals with "Matryoshkas", sometimes referred to as "Russian Nesting Dolls".  Also an excellent short web-book written by Bruce Mattson describes in interesting detail (with lots of photos) one of our "most exciting" trips to Russian back in 1996.  Please check out these and other items on the menu to the right.
