The survey is coming right along, I'm getting great feedback from everyone, thank you for taking the time to let me know what you want from a class...! I plan to have at least 3 dates this summer, one each in June, July and August and will add dates as demand calls for it. My studio is pretty small, I can only handle 2-3 students at a time, and I'm thinking of starting out with 2 people and if things go well, I'll increase it to 3 later on...That way you get more focused attention and I don't have to buy liquid oxygen to power 8 torches...ha...My Loren Stump class had 2 humongous liquid oxygen tanks for it (8 people, 5 day class 12-14 hours a day - we used a lot of oxygen!). And you thought a 7 hour class would be long...we were up till 3:00am and later...its no wonder one of my friends set herself on fire (accidentally of course). That's another story, though...
good day at the torch yesterday, nearly 14 hours of making beads. I have 3 new eBay auctions to go up and a few Pickings for you here...I hope today is another barn burner...my little shelf of beads is like a ghost town...I don't like being without beads...
New glass colors should be arriving soon, I have a big order for frit, bullseye, and 'off' colors..It always takes forever for stuff to arrive, and makes me crazy in the meantime!! Well, go have a great spring day and I'll talk to ya soon...
