Let’s face it, fusing can be a very expensive hobby/venture. But not necessarily if you use your creativity at the thrift store!

I do look at thrift stores, but I love restaurant supply stores. So much cheap stainless steel that works fine in my kiln.

When we where living in Hawaii I got a lot of things at the thrift store, both for my studio and the one I taught at. Stainless steel bowls where in abundance and very cheap, lots of the metal frame type things you use and things for display. We have a local thrift store here I go too. They get tons of frames that are really cute. The little lanterns you saw are one of my best sellers, yes it’s a pain to get the glass out and in, but I usually have a box of the glass already cut to size, if I’m just screen printing for them I recycle glass from frames etc, if I buy things that don’t work out I clean it up and resonate it.

this was really eye-opening! I, too, am a thrifter. Recently I've been picking up serving utensils (meat forks, coffee measurer, salad servers, etc.) with flat handles and I create fused glass pieces to glue onto the handles. Love them! Thanks for all you share!

Leave the plate as is. Zyp sticks just fine on glazed ceramics.

I would have taken the porthole clock because it is deep enough you could have mounted glass and a light behind it. If you got a motion sensor light you wouldn't even need to have a switch showing. That wire frame with the loops that looked like a flower would have been a great frame for a floral scene.

I probably should have. There wasn’t anything on the back that you could use to hang it on the wall so I was not feeling creative enough to come up with a hanging mechanism for it. But now I regret not getting it.

@@JamaisonSchuler Go back and make an offer - it often works! And, pay attention to the discount days, it’s usually a section of the store at 50% off the sticker.

This is great advice, I have family working in thrift shops and been giving me lots of old jewellery. They clean the jewellery too so useful yo upcycle. Best thing I had was 4 brass frames that they bought for about $2 each. Sold all of them almost instantly for $30 each. So chuffed.

I recently found a necklace with five strands of cultured rainbow pearls with a 14k clasp at a local thrift store. It was senior discount day and I paid 79 cents for it! I'm addicted to thrift stores!!

I went recently, no keepers. But, pre-pandemic, I scored several stainless shakers for $5 for the bunch!

Hi Jamaican I would be careful using glazed pottery or cermaric as the glaze could melt and go set on your kiln shelf. Unglazed pottery is the best to use. I found anyway. Like the thrift shop x
@JamaisonSchuler2 жыл бұрын
It’s highly unlikely. Ceramics glazes contain silica, which requires high temperatures to melt at 1800 degrees Fahrenheit and above. I never fire my glass that hot.

The salt shaker works with powder frit to shake onto glass or settings.

Looking for usable items, I usually explore authentic thrift stores, flea markets and yard/garage sales. It looked like you were at a Goodwill, (Retail prices on their things).
