I am lucky enough to have a glass tribe. Years ago we met mostly in workshops, became friends and started getting together to torch, fuse, cast and any other glass activity we could think of. A while ago we lost the location we used, and we really missed it. Recently a friend moved into a house with a large garage, and she set up the garage as a glass studio. Last weekend, we converged on her garage and spent the weekend working together again, at long last. We had 6 torches and 3 bead kilns set up, along with space for fusing and casting, and a kiln or two for that too. It was so much fun spending two days working and talking glass with friends who are as fascinated by it as I am!
Because I am getting ready for a huge show (
Kutztown Folk Festival), I spent the time making beads, experimenting with new colors. I learned some new combinations that work, and some that don't! It is all good!
