Dolly Ahles sculpted florals
I think I'm going to request this class at the Glass Craft Expo in Las Vegas next year. Maybe someone there can convince Ms. Ahles to hold a class.

I want to learn to do glass blowing with an Electrical Spinning mandrel. How do I get the owner / inventor of the tool to call me back and tell me the details of which one I should order for the application?

I would like to know what glass to choose to make very organic earthy looking hollow beads. Without buying ALL the glass I guess.

Just buy ALL the glass, that's what the rest of us try to do lol!
But seriously, dark ivory and silver are two essentials as far as I am concerned. However, 'organic' and 'earthy' are pretty vague. Every lampworker has a different take on organics and your choice of glass depends on the look you are after. If I were you I would start with dark ivory and SIS ( silvered ivory stringer) and randomly add bits and bobs of earth toned glass or even a nice earthy frit mix.
Also earthy? Just remember diamonds, gold and opals (and many other beautiful precious materials) come from the earth, so an interpretation of earthy can be anything from dull earth to sparkling gold and rainbow fire opals. Just have fun.

Raku (Iris Orange, either 104 or 96 version) shards are good for organics too. I love a base of Effetre Avocado or Sage for them also.
