Cold worked glass is so cool. It's a shame more artists don't work in this medium. Have you ever seen Borobarto's work? He does a lot of this layered colored style of coldworking.

I just reached out to Hamm's to see if they currently accept orders for an Aquaduct with custom colorsI'm in love with Hamm's style:
Edit: Found a function video!
I'd love a mixture of colors, just as in that function video, but perhaps with some see-through colors... lets see what's possible (if they accept orders at the moment that is)

Woohoo! I just paid the 50% deposit and have my order locked in now
Going for a round The Aquaduct, with a colored center. I told them: "I'm leaning towards red, blue, purple, and perhaps with something funky to make it pop. Either a transparent aqua blue, or a transparent pink"
Very excited!

Hamm doesn't get the same hype he used to but he's an instrumental figure in the glass scene. Invented the recycler as a concept and people have been building on that idea since. Great snag! I think the aqueduct is one of his best designs.

So this one arrived today... It looks exactly as it does in the video, wild! Depending on how the light falls into it, you see different parts of it. Its like magicSo I went from "I like this one because its understated and not so flashy" to ordering this one, oops:

You will love it! I have #63, all clear, it is like hitting an actual water feature. An interactive fountain that gets you elevated. Best with wide open airflow, but still functions fine with Anvil/Dynavap though, you will notice if you overpack.

Feel like I’m winnin’ when I’m losin’ again
Bear Mountain’s drop this coming Sunday is looking interesting, some less traditional (for their shop) pieces and collabs.

The little perfume bottles look kinda sweet
I mean, they did rip off Bluegrass Glass lamp designs pretty hard...Guru won't be making lamps anymore at the end of the year...

Well strong disagree. Bluegrass actually specifically said he didn't care... Just other people gatekeeping who can make what kind of glass designs, a lava lamp is just a shape and many others make them... Not the same as other cloning, like how many identical jammers are there?? (but go off
)

C'mon, these and biao.t's RBR imitations of Bear Mountain RBRs (among others) are different from the far more common banger hanger designs. I feel for the artists who put in all the time and effort to perfect their designs only to have the design ripped off by others. Didn't know that bluegrass gave their blessings for this, but generally the innovators are suffering from cheap copycat knockoffs.Well strong disagree.

I'll support the innovative artists themselves, personally. But you do you.

You're proving my point, this is not at all the same as Biao cloning a BMS (which is also not that big of a deal because they are actually pretty different and priced so different)... I would argue the core function of those lamps is basic like a jammer banger hanger actually, while they also differ depending on who makes it, not identical clones or really considered a knock-off at all... Guru is also an artist with plenty of innovation with those and other designs he makes, if you followed all his glass you would see how different they are from bluegrass in a variety of ways... You can't touch the color work etc BG does, but I actually like the Guru style better personally, they're not cheap nor copycats and no one is suffering from their existence... Anyway I've also personally seen you support a lack of innovation, but sure ride that high horse

And here we go! I just got the pictures of my piece. I also asked Hamm to make me a matching ash catcher + bowl:
I couldnt be happier with the result, the colors are exactly what I hoped for. So, so pretty!

I LOVE the very slight taper on the bottom of the body. Looks like a chubby apple. Exceptional setup!
Love those Hamms!!!
