[jjglass]

I'm down for it. Just got my new GTT Kobuki torch we can play with if you need another torch.

[MUPH]

if you dont mind a newbie hanging out where and when

What he said /\/\ I'd love to see the new Kobuki torch in action.

[nafglass]

This has great potential! I'd surely make the 8 hour drive to go hang out! I don't think there's anything I can show anyone but I'll contribute in any way I can. The Kobuki torch looks awesome! I'd love to try it!

[Ubatuba]

What are you guys going to make? I'll poke my head in, the shop is 10 min from my house. Set the date son!

[Collin]

Hey Guys I'm Down. Let me know the dates. Peace Brandon

[michaelangeloglass]

I think its safe to say we are going to make something Krazy, It's hard for me to consider a plan till I know who's on board, and what they can bring to the table.

I am anti-pipe making in this studio because we have students from girlscouts- the ceo of the MERC and retired president of IBM in here.

Well guess what?


The furnace is off!


So making a very large complex piece is not out of the question because on the weekends nobodys around....


I am supportive of the idea of a pipe being a piece of art;o)

One of my favorites was the "Cosmic tuning fork"

What a concept

Maybe for all the "bad asses" we will make some goblets...



Looking @ the calender.........

August 9th 4p.m.-10p.m. Heres the deal, bring everything ya got because we are going to work as a team on something big:o) Belive me I have enough annealing space.

For this all I ask is $40 kick down for O2 Propane, and electric. I hope I'm Not breaking you.

To confirm you are coming please send an e-mail contact@contemporaryglass.org

If you don't send an e-mail I won't let you in, That means u 2 Ubatuba because I have to set everything up. Alex and I are friends

[michaelangeloglass]

I would like to add that I'm going extend the hours from 2p.m. -10p.m. for all whom want to get a full 8 hour day in;O


If you sign up late for this I can't guarantee that there will be space for you, I do have some e-mails coming in all ready so if your contemplating coming, make up your mind.:D

Just send an e-mail to contact@contemporaryglass.org to get put on the list.

[MUPH]

[Uscalus Storm]

Curt

[nafglass]

I can't wait to see what you guys put together! Unfortunately, for the sake of the colab, I'll be in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. Not unfortunate for me though! I need my annual fix of that place!

[michaelangeloglass]

Do you want me to switch the date???????????

How about august 23rd?????

Work for everyone?

[MUPH]

Still wont work for me, but dont switch it around for just a couple people. Its a big commitment for me to haul it down to Illinois, Over an 8 hours drive.

[ShttrdSpctrm]

Damn I leave for colorado on the 5th.
Curt

bring your ass to fort collins if you want to see a real glass shop. hahahahahahaha

I would totally be down to go but I am pretty grounded here for right now. plus I hate the humididty.if you did one in the fall or spring. I'm in.

[michaelangeloglass]

O.k. The the 9th it is.... 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. maybe later as well depends on what I have going on on Sunday.


Here's the deal, I have to go to a wedding , just the church part @ 2:30p.m. that day, so I'm going to try to find someone to man the ship for a few hours, but I'll be back around 4 p.m. to rawk.

Send your e-mail if your coming

contact@contemporaryglass.org


If you all ready sent one don't worry I have them, and I will be doing a conformation next week.

peace

[jjglass]

[michaelangeloglass]

[michaelangeloglass]

Today is the day!:o)

[nafglass]

Well.... Let's hear about it!

[michaelangeloglass]

Not too much to hear about just a few dudes blowing some glass...


I would like to do this again sometime in the near future:o)


well , back to work

[Mr. Whale dick]

wow, ...sounds fun, i'll have to make the next one...

[Icarus]

Damn, of course I read about this two days after it happens (which isn't too big of a deal cause I was at a family get together), but man, i want in next time. I'm about two hours away, and would definitely like to come down and meet others and blow some glass. Lookin forward to it.

[michaelangeloglass]

o.k. I'll pick another date.........

August 23rd 2p.m. - 10p.m.

e-mail if interested

contact@contemporaryglass.org

[jr23]

where you guys at northern part of IL?

[Icarus]

Okay, I checked with the warden (girlfriend) and I'm in unless something big comes up. I hope you don't mind newbies, do you?

[michaelangeloglass]

everyone is welcome to come out.

[michaelangeloglass]

www.contemporaryglass.org

there's a map on there

[billygoat]

so voddo where ya workin lemme come check out yer setup someday...

[Icarus]

Billygoat - At the moment... nowhere. We just bought a house so I could start flaming again (my landlord shut me down... long story), but I've been so busy with school, fixin the house up and a new job, i haven't even had a chance to set up. I've been feeding the addiction by doing the open torch sessions at the vinery, but it's like two hours once a month, so I'm feelin' rusty and am not really able to work on my technique since practice is so infrequent. I'm hoping to be set up in the next 30 - 60 days or so, but a new semester starts in about two weeks, so it kind of depends on how intense the classes are.

Where are you setup at these days? You sold the shop a while ago didn't you. I was meaning to stop in, but never got the chance cause I lived and worked on the westside. Now I'm on the eastside, and find myself driving by there like four times a week. Isn't that how it goes? If you ever feel like letting a noob come out and watch you work some of your insanely impressive glass magic, let me know. I'll bring the beer.

-Voodoo

Also, Michael Angelo.... damn it, i want to come so bad, but I remembered that I promised a friend I would help him move, and I don't want to be one of those guys that says they will help you move and then backs out. So not this time, but man, i want to come. Please keep on posting when you have these, and I'll try my damnedest to get there. Thanks.
