Wayne Shipman

Featured Artist

My name is Wayne Shipman, and I love art glass. I recently took a week-long class in Glass Fusing at The Studio @ Corning Museum of Glass, and Although I’ve tried glass blowing and taken classes and made “stuff”, it is not very convenient to access a glassblowing rental place and keep up the skills.

I found a used kiln that had no usable controls but worked. My search to find a suitable controller led me to Bartlett’s website and the Genesis Mini controller. It was offered at a fair price and the technical staffer, Steve, helped me with information so I could build my own controller box. After sourcing the parts needed locally and from the internet I was able to build a very high quality controller box that makes programming each kiln run a breeze.
