Glass fusing/blowing suppliers sell grades of powdered glass in small =
quantity
jars (5 =23 and under). I buy from Bullseye Connection, Portland, Oregon
(http://www.bullseye-glass.com), Cline Glass, Portland Oregon (no website), =
AA
Products, Seguin, Texas (http://aaproducts.com), and Georgie's Ceramic and =
Clay
Co., Portland Oregon (http://www.georgies.com).

yes, i know there were many clayart postings a few years ago
about where to get powdered glass or ground cullet from. and
i'm asking up-to-date info about the same again. i'm using
ball-milled glass as an ingredient of beer-bottle celadon
glaze(s). but, i'm really tired of ball-milling bottles. so
i want to buy ground glass powder, instead. take an easy way.
i'm asking: who retails powdered glass? can one buy by a
retail amount, like 10 lbs, 20 lbs, ..., not by truck loads,
if not by a pound? how small are the glass powder particles?
are they color separated? i'd appreciate if any of you who
actually have used powdered glass could help me.
