Thanks for the nice notes and pm's. Also a big thank you to Robert Mickelsen who will donate a piece to the cause. And Kaj Beck who has donated to this project.

You guys are making this happen, I only made a studio. But you are the ones who are keeping it going. Big up to the flame.

[revere glass]

Thank You,

oops....sorry Emilio. Good thing I am not a writer.

[MainiacGlass]

sorry if that seemed a little nit picky I was just searching on google and wanted to clarify incase anyone else wasnt farmiliar with him.

[Jerry Gash]

I want this baaaad, i have been looking for an excuse to do some traveling, to get to travel and learn some new tricks definitely sounds like a kick ass time!

[Kaj Beck]

That's the beauty of it all, you don't need to travel immediately, there are programs all year long, posted well in advance, giving you enough time conjure up that extra loot needed to get the yourself out there, 3 workshops of any choice, that's rare, very rare. Good luck to all who are participating!!!

[revere glass]

The Scholarship is for one seat in a workshop and one observer spot. We asked for your top 3 choices of what ONE they would like to be in. Thanks for the support Kaj.

[Kool]

Hey Dustin,
I can't apply for this, as my life is too busy to predict this year and I wouldn't be able to commit to anything with certainty. I just wanted to say that I think this is a great idea and very generous of you. Hopefully you'll do it again in future years and I can apply then.

[MainiacGlass]

I'm waiting for pix of some marbies I gave a friend, I havn't made it a standard practice to take pix of my work. Thank god for friends!!!!! Savin' me yet again..

[revere glass]

Please take pics of your work...it is so imprtant as an artist. even if you think it sucks, it is really cool lookng back. I was just cleaning some old stuff and saw some slides of my pottery from '94...blast from the past. TAKE PICS.

[ACE]

you are so on point, i agree. mad important. the pics i took of shitty work is better (photograhically) <---not a word. than the pics i have npw of my halfway decent shit, but looking back on the progress is an unbeleivable feeling. i don't know if i made any sense, sorry its late im drunk.

[MainiacGlass]

Yeah I know I should but rarely want to see most of my production ever again, and as far as the headies I had a decent pic collection going but my hard drive crashed. There still might be hope for it yet, but that will have to be in the near future cause that computer is in maine.

[Kaj Beck]

Only a week left for submissions

[Ro's Glass World]

WoW my travel/glass budget for this year is shot, but if you do it again i would be interested, ive never been to CA. i must say, this is an amazing offer!!!!!!!!
thank you!!!!!!!!!
Ro

[dogmaw]

Now nobody else enter.... it is the only way I'll have a chance to win. :lol

[medicatedMELTDOWN]

I was just about to submit my email for this when I discovered my gp.org gallery is completely empty! All my pics are gone :( so I guess I can't enter into the contest... unless the site gets fixed.....or I upload them somewhere else.

bummer........I had at least 100 pics uploaded:bangHead:

[Chris Carlson]

i just noticed mine was empty as well... i'm optimistically guessing its temporary. i have around 2500 pics...

[TorchedGlass]

Well I was trying to upload some pics on ga.org last night and I got a file too large prompt. Then when I went back to my gallery it said it was empty. I was pissed, so I checked it again a minute ago and my pics are there. So hopefully it is a temp prob.

[revere glass]

my pic where gone last night too. but they are there this morning. so I gues it was a temp problem

[revere glass]

[nasty]

thank u revere glass, thankz so much

[revere glass]

Thank you to Cristina Cody and Family for the donation of a very nice vortex marble for the program.

[revere glass]

As a note. Our program is more like a grant. I realized now after listening to what a few people had to say about programs like this...People are chosen for all different reasons, Including, financial need, glass blowing ability now and potential, if they have taken classes and more. Each applicant was reviewed and it was very difficult to decide on just 2. So we added a third winner. Thank you to all the people who applied and thank you to the people who have donated glass for this program. Soon we will be able to off this again.I

[ech]

Hey all I was there when Nasty fopund out she won she is super stoked. This is an awesome program that Dustin is running. An awesome facility. Everyone there will have a great time.

[Chris Carlson]
