I have been trying for years to bring more glass events to Wonka World. Glass Stock is just right a very structured event completely opposite from AGI. I have taught at GSW so I am sure this is the right event for the glass center.

This venue is mostly bead and soft glass classes but we do have some boro I will be teaching a class and of course Roger will be doing his thing to wow the group. Kevin is doing the cooking so I know I will gain more lbs.

I will post more info soon
