In addition to there being different types of glass which we talked about in Know Your Glass (part 1) there are also different glass manufacturers.
The manufacturers that we stock glass from at Stained Glass Express are:
Armstong—Clarity, richness and depth in art glass! is totally beautiful. It was unavailable for a long time but is now being manufactured by Youghiogheny. They are doing a great job. We are currently stocking about 20 skus and adding all the time because it is so great.

Bullseye—Is based on Portland, Oregon. I toured they plant years ago and it is very impressive. They manufacture “colored glass for art and architecture with worldwide distribution and a strong commitment to research, education and promoting glass art”. They really are leaders in contemporary kiln-glass. Their colors are rich and beautiful.

Kokomo—Kokomo just announced they are ceasing manufacturing after 137 years. Kokomo was the oldest glass manufacturer. They are known worldwide for they hand mixed sheet glass art and colored glass. Even though Tiffany manufactured his own glass he also bought a lot of glass and jewels from Kokomo. Much of Kokomo’s glass was influenced by Mr. Tiffany. We have not stocked it for about a year because we really could not get it. They will be missed and hopefully someone will buy it and start it up again.
Oceanside Compatible —We stock more Oceanside than anything else. We stock stained glass, fusing glass and cabinet glass. It cuts great and they just keep coming out with fun Fusers Reserve that keeps things exciting.

Wissmach—This is very old glass manufacturer. They have been manufacturing art glass since 1904. I have toured this plant also. They let us hand pick some glass which they then drop shipped through our distributor. It was a very fun experience. We have a large stock of Wissmach and it is often the pick to match old repairs and church windows. We stock both their art glass and 96 coe glass.
