Greetings from my beadmaking class at the Miami Gathering...I thought I'd give you some of the same advice that I am giving my sculptural glass students today...
Graphite smooths, Brass moves.
I use my brass Stump Shaper to move my glass around. The brass grabs it and helps it go where it needs to be. If I just want to gently marver something, my graphite tools work perfectly well. And in my case, it's generally my torch mounted marver that is a part of my daily torching routine.
I'll see you tomorrow. Hasta la vista, baby.
Thanks for the tip! I'm jealous! Wish I could be at the Gathering, too!
