This spring, both System 96 and Bullseye have announced the expansion of their color palettes, and both have offered up some inspired (and inspiring) new hues for your glass art. The colors capture some of the more subtle shades that appear in nature when the lighting is just right - those magic moments when the world takes your breath away.
They are also the colors that appear in tremendous works of art, from memorable paintings to your next project. Let these fresh colors inspire your designs. We're proud to introduce the latest hues here:

Here at Delphi, we love a good reason to celebrate. With the Holiday Season still looming weeks away, we were feeling anxious for a bit of excitement now.
The good news? There are lots of lesser known “holidays” scattered throughout the year if you only look for them. (September includes a favorite of ours; National Talk Like a Pirate Day.) We needed another zany mood boost to get us through…
That’s how we found this gem: It’s National Pet Peeve Week!
In honor of this "holiday" we thought long and hard about what really gets under our skin and pushes our buttons while working on projects.
Check out our top glass art pet peeves, and the simple solutions sure to put a smile back on your face!

What’s behind Delphi’s new line of Premium Wrought Iron Stands? An American manufacturing company, Professional Metal Works, Inc ("PMW"). We sit down with Jim Rice of PMW to ask him a few questions about the quality products his company produces.
Delphi: How did your company get started?
Jim Rice: Professional Metal Works, PMW for short, was established in 2000 by Fred Boling who had over 25 years in the metal fabrication industry. Shortly thereafter in 2001 Fred was joined by a partner, Jerry McKenna who had worked with Fred previously and himself had over 25 years of experience in metal fabrication as well.
Delphi: What makes your company unique?

Delphi’s 40th Year Anniversary is quickly approaching, which will be commemorated with the release of the 2012 Annual Catalog. Our constant commitment to making art glass accessible to everyone by providing the largest selection of supplies and art glass has truly made us innovators.
One of the ways we stay on the cutting edge is to bring tools and products that enable the process of creating to become enjoyable and rewarding for everyone. This month we are featuring two of our vendors whose products support the mission of Delphi and embody innovation.
We recently caught up with the President of Creator's Stained Glass, Inc. and Inventor of the Cutter’s Mate, CirclePro and Strip Pro, Ray Nicholas. He told us the story of what sparked his creation of these tools. He began creating stained glass in 1992. His services become so in demand that by 1996 he had developed the Cutter’s Mate to create efficiencies in cutting glass through the cutting system’s four key features crucial to the perfect cu ...

Amy Ferber from Bullseye Glass visited Delphi last week, and the Reactions were fantastic!
She was here to give a free presentation about using Bullseye Reactive Glass. The two hour interactive presentation included a video, and a chance to look at samples of reactions that were created using a variety of techniques and different materials – and what class would be complete without a pop quiz? Attendees were asked to review the samples and identify what was used to make them. Everyone had a fantastic time.
After the presentations I was able to sit down with Amy for a few minutes and talk. Here are a few of the questions I managed to sneak into her whirlwind vist:
Q: What is the COE of Bullseye?
A: Although many people like to categorize glass neatly by a COE number, compatibility is actually more complex than that. Bullseye kiln glass is around 90 COE, and is “Bullseye Compatible,” meaning that it is all extensively tested for reliability within the Bullseye product line. What this means for the user is that you’ll consistently get good results when fusing Bullseye products together. Bullseye ...

It is with great pleasure that I introduce myself to the Delphi glass community of creative thinkers and doers. It is also my honor to take over the Social Media Manager role from Julie Bedford, the mind behind Delphi's Social Media Marketing. Julie has progressed in her career and she will be greatly missed by all. As always she is still just a few clicks away....stay tuned in please Julie!
The path that led me here is a story of inspiration indeed. Just a few weeks ago I was working as COO for a health education media company and closing in on my ninth year of employment. While I earned a degree in Visual Art with a concentration in stained glass, it had been a hobby at best over those years. Having the ability to combine my love of glass with day to day work seemed more like a dream than reality.
All that changed when a former co-worker referred me to Delphi. Now my day's work supports the overall goals of inspiring creativity and providing education to fellow artists and hobbyist, who in turn have already returned the favor to me. So I would like to thank everyone for welcoming me and let me also pledge my dedication to bringing you the mos ...
