Arrow Springs-Flameworking Supplies & Equipment

Great place for lampwork glass, tools and classes. The staff and owners are great and so friendly. I love the open torch times the have and other events like shows and sales.
They are so supporting and willing to answer my many questions. When I first started I made many calls asking questions before ordering and it was never a problem and I had all my questions answered. Even my b/​f who suprised me with a digital controller was able to call up and ask what to get/​etc to work with my kiln very easily.
Their tool selection ROCKS make sure you spend your money wisely many of the imported tools are less but often the ones they make themself will last you a long time.
Shop online, by phone, email or in person but I recommend making a visit if you are able to do so because you won’t regret it.
Their selection of 104coe glass will have you feeling like a kid in a candy store! I always have a great shopping experience whenever I go.
I will say they are the best in my area, and so I give them 5 stars for that, their wonderful services and great people who sell good quality items.
I do however wish they were able to have more of a selection of boro/​hard-​glass but I understand that issue so I continue to shop there whenever possible to support such a great business.

I don’t think I would be the well rounded, still-​in-​one-​piece glass artist you see today without the wonderful folks at Arrow Springs steering me in the right direction. The staff is so informative and patient answering questions. When I was a newbie artist, they talked me down off the ledge innumerable times. Super, super, SUPER friendly and knowledgeable staff, great selection of quality products and supplies, and if you need it and they don’t have it, they’ll either order it or make it from scratch.
I have literally been ordering glass and supplies from these great people for ten years and I can honestly say that Craig and Donna and the gang at Arrow Springs are not just a business I support, but also my friends. Cannot say enough good things about Arrow Springs, they’ll help you be the best artist you can be and keep you from blinding yourself or blowing yourself up in the process! :-)

For those of you who do lampwork, you must come here. Drop whatever you’re doing and go now.
Strictly speaking, I think this is supposed to be a mail order business, but I crash their floor occasionally. They have got to be some of the nicest people running a business. When I was a glass newbie and no idea what the hell I was doing, they would take the time to gently steer me in the right direction (ie «Uh…you know those two types of glass don’t mix, and will explode in the kiln if you try to use them together, right? Here, try this…»).
Now that I have a fair idea of what I’m doing, I’ll order over the phone and have them mail it, or hold it for me and pick it up. Even though it’s a fair drive from Sacramento, I look forward to wandering in and drooling over their glass supply. I would also recommend going them if you’re thinking of picking it up as a hobby. Their incredibly helpful and knowledgeable staff will steer you in the right direction (like they did with me all those years ago!).
