He then moved to Seattle, where he ran his first production studio until moving back to Texas in 2000. Jennifer and Wil also publish the premier flameworking journal, The Flow. None of this would be possible without the help of their two beautiful children, Trey and Alexandra.

Yeah, I lost all my marbles some years back, and Ross is kind enough to let me come up and replace them. This will be a great class. I am looking forward to seeing Ross's new place and their new baby(Congrats Ross and Steph).

I got a new opal tech I am bringing with me and some new dichroic tricks. We will have a blast.

Respect,

boxfan

Michael,

Come on out. We will be rockin it out. My classes are always about the people who show up. You ask, if I can, I will show it. MArbles are to much fun. No flat spot or bowl push to hide imperfections. They really push a person to have clean execution of technique. "Making perfect orbs in an imperfect world"

thanks for the interest,

boxfan
