Heart of Glass

The wait is over! Mini-mullers are once again in stock. This time, we have several choices for you.

Mini-mullers are perfect for mixing small amounts of paint, for illumination or miniatures, in combination with a ground glass plate. See our blog for a demonstration of mini-mullers in action making egg tempera paint!

Earlier this year, we enquired of a local lampwork artist if she would be interested in making some new mini-mullers to replenish our depleted stock. She responded enthusicastically and made a batch for us that included not only the plain mini-mullers that we sell as a set with the 4×4″ grinding plates, and some fancy lampwork mullers to add to our existing collection, but also some novel borosilicate glass mini-mullers, with a larger-gauge handle for better grip.

As is always the case with hand-made items, there is some variability in the individual pieces, so you can be assured of a completely unique item! Let us choose one for you today!

Hi friends, warmest greetings of the season to you. As a holiday gift from us, here’s a paint-along video shot along the rocky California coast. If you look closely, you can see some sea otters doing their thing just out past the surf line.

Paint-Along Video, Big Sur Coast

Please enjoy this wintry scene along the sunny Big Sur coast. California Condors can be found along uninhabited parts of the shoreline and the Ventana Wilderness nearby. You can experience a plein air paint out from the comfort of your own studio, without the freezing cold wind! Stay safe and warm this holiday season.
