Intro To Flameworking

With Zenia's hard work setting up our lampworking section and Kirsty Naray's excellent demonstrations paying off, we find ourselves in a quandary- too much demand and the need for more resources. So, to rectify this we've brought in another 20 or so books (giving us the largest selection of books on this topic anywhere in Canada), increased our tool selection, added every conceiveable rod colour from Bullseye (now over 100), and hired another instructor- Caryl (the one Zenia said was okay to hire because she didn't look too dorky wearing flameworker's glasses- you be the judge).

Caryl has done her homework and set up a very comprehensive hands-on course, which will run one day at six hours. We have scheduled eight dates, at the amazing cost of only $155.00. Zenia says amazing because this includes everything- hands-on torch time, a teacher/student ratio of 1 to 2 or 3 and the use of all our tools, kiln time and a cache of rods which you get to keep. And in the unlikely chance that you should get a hangnail or blister, Caryl can kiss it and make it feel better because she was a paramedic in her previous life.

First date is Tue. May 8 or Sat. May 12. More details and dates will be posted on the website soon.
