Hi everyone! It feels good to finally get the blog section of The Fusing Shop up and running. I’m going to be posting a bunch of articles about stuff that I’ve been working on that I haven’t made public yet.

Support The Fusing Shop on Patreon

So my first update is that I made an account on Patreon if you would like to support me and the Fusing Shop YouTube channel.

Here is the link if you’d like to sign up: https://www.patreon.com/user?u=55033937&fan_landing=true

Here is The Fusing Shop YouTube channel if you haven’t seen it yet: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJCne01ejyBdBFVQ_z-85LA

So Sim, what benefits are you offering if I sign up?

Fair question. I know a bunch of people who have Patreon pages that offer special discounts, items, swag, merch, whatever other names they use for promotional products these days. At the moment, I haven’t thought of anything to offer other than the free video tutorials that I’ve been making for the past ten months. The videos do take me a lot of time to:

1. Think of what to make

2. Find time to get in the shop and make it

3. Film it

4. Upload to my computer & edit

5. Render and post to YouTube

6. Pray the glass project does not crack/break as I’m doing the steps above

If you have any ideas, that will not cost me a lot of money and/or time, let me know.

In the meantime, if you enjoy my videos and want to send me some love, then you are more than welcome to do so =). I’m still going to provide free glass blowing lessons and I’m here if you want to reach out and let me know what you want to see made.

As always, I appreciate you taking the time to check out the website and read this article.

Here’s to your glass blowing success!

Sim
