Everything Morton!

Another awesome thing that Slumpfest-ers 2013 learned...How to use all the amazing tools that Morton Glass produces! 

Morton also has great online tutorials and instructions for all their products! Slumpy's has all the tools on display in our NEW Store!

A favorite simple tool made by Morton Glass is the Safety Break... this small tool can break glass anywhere on your score line which makes a glass artist's life a lot easier when cutting rounded edges! Morton says it best, "Saving tips and preventing flares is the best reason to use the Safety Break System." Simply hold the tool horizontal over the score line and press up with your finger; to break more than one score at a time, just use both hands and push up with your fingers. Or use bottom edge over the red button to remove a narrow strip from the glass edge.  More detailed instructions here... with easy-to-understand pictures! 


A MUST-HAVE tool in your glass studio is the Morton Glass Portable Glass Shop. This glass shop comes with all the tools to get you started cutting strips, bits, triangles and more in any size! Match with Morton Surfaces to create the perfect cutting system!

Morton Glass has complete instructions on assembly and use of the Portable Glass Shop. See instructions here


Slumpy's carries all Morton accessories for the Portable Glass Shop including Fence extensions, Glass stops, Glass Caddy system, Cutter Caddy, XL Cutting Bar and more. See all products here

We also have Waffle grids in 2-pack, 4-pack and 6-pack to fit your space! A great little accessory that we use with the Waffle Grids in the Slumpy's warehouse is our Speed Balls. Just place the speed balls in line with your score for easier sliding of glass. 

Morton Glass products are a MUST for the glass enthusiast! 

Slumpy's Store will be OPEN Saturday, November 30, after Thanksgiving 10am- 4pm! 
All in-store orders this day will receive 20% off! *Cannot combine with other offers. 

Come by our store to see the Morton Glass Cutting System and a lot more!

Erica's Stamping Technique

We had a blast at Slump Fest 2013 with Erica Biery! She's so full of life and knows her stuff when it comes to glass stamping! 

Slumpy's thought it would be helpful to create a video tutorial showing you a "How-to" on Erica's stamping technique. 



The Glass Stamping technique works on all COE of glass. The glass stamping medium is non-toxic and food safe. 

Follow the link to check out our Glass Stamping section on Slumpys.com. *If you have questions about glass stamping, email slumpyartist@gmail.com. 


Announcement: Slumpy's Store will be OPEN Saturday, November 30- 10:00am to 4:00pm! Everyone receives 20% their in-store order that day!

Studio v. Belmont



What's the difference? Slumpy's designs two different types of slumping molds-- Studio Molds and Belmont Molds. 

Our Studio Molds are single-walled and are also known as our economical line. We've designed all different shapes from our Softest Slope Plates to our Pineapple Tray. Find our whole Studio mold selection here.  

Our Belmont Molds are double-walled to increase even air circulation during the heating process. These are our premium molds that offer a large selection of collections and sets such as our Connor Collection! 

Every month, Slumpy's Design team gathers 'round and bounces ideas off each other. Think you have an idea for a great mold? Email me!
