A few years ago, I bought some pieces of plexiglass from a guy who reclaimed offcuts from a plexiglass manufacturer.

I used the pieces of plexiglass
to make pocket looms
that I used to teach
weaving workshops.
Plexiglass is a
nightmare to cut with
saws-
it releases foul smelling
gasses!
So, I won’t be doing
that again!
Last week I posted about another plexiglass loom- this time an inkle loom:

And, thanks to Tropical Twister, a really fun small loom weaver’s blog, I have just learned about another plexiglass loom:
An ingenious design for laser cut backstrap looms in wood or plexiglass from Action Weaver.
And, now, on to glass:
Weavezine just had a wonderful article about slumping and weaving glass strips: Woven Glass
I am willing to bet that many of you have already seen pics of the blown glass spinning wheel – but how could I resist including it in this post?
