Jeff Lindsay is bringing back a classic!

At this special event at Hot Glass Color & Supply, Jeff will debut the 2026 version of the very first diamond shears he designed and made, originally introduced in 1978 under his Random Specialties name.

The original shears were known for their distinctive longer blades and unique design. After years of requests from glassblowers, Jeff went back to his original drawings and brought the design back to life — with the first new version available in decades.

Come meet Jeff, ask questions, see the new-old RS Diamond Shears, and watch a demonstration. Plus, you’ll have a chance to win a pair of the new-old RS Shears in a drawing!

🏆 Celebrating the Hot Glass Color Artist Appreciation Award!

At Hot Glass Color & Supply, we love finding ways to amplify artists and support the people pushing glass in new directions. That’s why we’re proud to sponsor the Hot Glass Color Artist Appreciation Award in conjunction with the Pilchuck Auction.

This year’s award recognizes Los Angeles-based multidisciplinary artist, instructor, and fabricator Danielle Brensinger Dani B. for her creativity, experimentation, and the personal history that informs her work.

Danielle works across torchwork, glassblowing, and mixed media, exploring craft, repetition, labor, and care. Her work draws from family history and experiences, transforming ideas around domestic work into something new through glass.

The award will support Danielle’s continued exploration of color, materials, and techniques across her creative practice. 🎨🔥

We’re honored to help amplify Danielle’s work and support her continued experimentation!

There are some journeys we may make several times, and others we can only make once. Seattle Glassblowing Studio and Hot Glass Color are saddened to hear that Paul Marioni has made his final journey; our hearts and deepest condolences are with his family.

A founding member of the American studio glass movement, Paul Marioni was deeply influential in the artistic development of glass makers around the world. From his early work in stained glass to his applications of enamel paintings on blown glass or photography on cast glass, Paul's innovative techniques and designs opened the limitless capacities of glass for generations to come. He was known for pushing the boundaries of glass and his impact is felt across the spectrum of glass media. As a mentor and instructor Paul was instrumental in defining the teaching structures at institutions like Pilchuck Glass School and Penland School of Craft where his legacies are felt to this day.

As owner Cliff Goodman, who first met Paul at the 1981 Glass Art Society conference in Seattle, says, "He was a towering figure in glass, he really shaped what imagery meant for a lot of artists. But I remember him most as a deeply caring person who cared about the whole world. He was always open to sharing his ideas and techniques and he would always listen. And he was passionate about how much he cared, he really *felt* it man, he cared about the issues of the day. The world needs more people like him."

Though we are heartbroken for so great a loss, the memories and the spirit of his legacy are eternal.

Some orders are bigger than others. 😅
Damien found himself surrounded by a mountain of frit as we packed a large shipment headed to Dollywood Mountain Blown Glass.
It takes a lot of color to keep glass artists creating, and we're always excited to help get it where it needs to go. From small studio orders to truckloads of material, we're proud to support the glass community one shipment at a time.
Safe travels to this colorful load as it heads to Tennessee. 🌈🔥
