Repped for good sale. Item as described and as shone in photo. Now I gotta it hooked up and start melting glass! :) Hope you had fun at AGI, maybe I'll go next year, if I get good enough.

[jane clifton]

See, that's the mistake everyone makes! !! You don't have to be good to go to AGI, you get good by going!!!!!!

Okay, you are right. The first lesson I've already learned, back when I learned to weld. Hot metal looks just like cold metal. Hot glass looks just like cold glass. Now off to buy "Contemporary Lamp Working", a kiln, some glasses and most importantly glass. Melting beer bottles is not as easy as it looks.

you get good by going!!!!!!
On second thought for an invitational like this, where pro's are going to learn to be better, it's impolite for a total noob to plunk down the cash and expect to be taught the "deeper things" of glass. As an IT professional I know what it is like to go to a convention like this and have to hand hold someone who doesn't even know what an "if block" is. Next year, it's on my calendar, and it's only a three hour drive. :bouncy:

but this isn't where pro's are going to learn to be better. This is where all levels go to share and learn so any level of glassblowing is welcome. Just saying, for those who think AGI is only for experienced glass blowers, you are wrong. All are welcome and all come away learning something.

Hope you like the torch, and let me know if you have any questions!!!!!

I went a couple years ago, I didn't know anything about boro. I was a soft glass girl. I ventured outside my comfort zone and it was a blast. I had only been making beads for a little over a year. I learned to blow glass, made a pendant, a marble, and met some great people and some terrific instructors. Go and have fun.
I read the AGI threads with regrets that I can't go again. Have spent all my glass bucks already.

Then start saving for next year cause it just keeps getting better and better!!!
