G.l.a.s.s. 2012!

[B.C. Creations]

well i think its time to start making the plans for this years event. i want to extend the invites to those who participated last year but i would also like some new faces and talent. i know there will be atleast one if not more people that wont be making it.

that being said.....my projected date for this year is memorial day weekend. early enough so we dont have the mosquitos and heat like last year. although the skeeters might be out earlier this year cuz of the lack of winter we had here. second warmest on record.

i still have to figure out which school we are donating to this year. from last years event we raised 1500 dollars. 300 went here and the other 1200 will be going to the grade school in my town. schools closed all week so ill be cutting them a check next week.

so whos down for this year? mind you this is a first come first serve basis and last years participants have first dibs. this is not open to the public and is a 2 day event. last year we had 24 participants. anymore than that and itll be hard to work.

participants will be split into 4 groups and each group will have a theme to make a large collab piece. this is not a paid event. you are donating your time. in return you get to learn and network and most importantly you get to help keep art programs in schools.

themes? memorial weekend work?

for those who didnt participate......im sure you can ask last years participants how much fun we had last time.

lets get the ball rolling!

dp

[Icarus]

Awesome! Glad to see this. Thanks for putting this on again man!

[B.C. Creations]

you know it!

themes........

astrological signs.....do a series of pieces, instead of 4 large collabs, with each sign being covered.

earth, wind, fire, water.......4 large pieces

super heros.......just pick 4 super heros and do 4 large peices or a series of smaller peices



the goal is to make these pieces functional but at the same time not really being able to tell. for example how RAM makes his latest pieces. not trying to drop any names........

[Boss]

:bouncy:would love to participate this year, BOSS!

[Julian]

Nice, it was definitely a good time last year. The mosquitos were a bit crazy, how do they feel in May?

I can't say for sure where I'll be around then yet, but if I'm near WI count me in!

[FizZle]

ill be there

[ALIEN!]

Im down to paticipate and lead a team. And yeah, heat and skeeters aside, last years event was the most fun I've had with glass.

[B.C. Creations]

sweet! itll be a good time again for sure. i got a few sponsors already lined up for this years event. just gotta get the ball rolling on the theme and participants.

this event is as always open to midwest and great lakes region lampers. dont matter if you been in the game for 1 month or 50 years. last year we had participants from as far away as philly, duluth, and detroit.

we could do 4 large teams like last year or break down into smaller groups and do a larger series of pieces. anyone have some ideas?

[ALIEN!]

Keep your phone handy....

[Coal]

Count my brother and I in! Hope to have another fun weekend working with you guys, last year was epic! We could do contrapulated animals like basselopes! lol

As for theams we could pic random ones, they dont have to be in one category..... for instance a 1950's ray gun looking piece, an organic vine piece with leaves and floral stuff, H.R.Gigger alienesk, idk just throwing out ideas.

Julian you best be there son, wouldnt be the same without you.
Danny, thanks for putting this on again!

[Jah Kno]

Count me in as well.... Cant wait.... Thanks for everything again Danny....

[B.C. Creations]

you know it!

[B.C. Creations]

i cut the grade school a check today for 1200 bucks from last years event. they were very suprised as they didnt know anything about the event or that they were the recipiant of the funds brought in. the principle called the art teacher down to the office to meet me. she was very suprised to see what we had done for the kids. she and the rest of the staff say thank you.

it was perfect timing too. the art teacher mentioned that she was just going over what they needed to get for the classroom and was wondering how she was going to make it happen. problem solved!

i want to say thank you to all who participated and to all the sponsors. so THANK YOU. you are all a great bunch of people with huge hearts and i am very proud to have the privilege to work with all of you. you should all be proud of yourselfs and deserve a pat on the back.



i cant wait for this years event!

[OracleGlassArts]

im def in, theme off the top of my head...elements?

[spiralout]

Let me know what is needed to keep you all fed and full of beverage.

[B.C. Creations]

sounds good. thanks nick

[star]

Thanks for putting this on again Danny! Attending G.L.A.S.S. was a great experience last year, and you can count on wieseatron and I coming back this year too.

Maybe different bio-zones for themes? (Like rainforest, coral reef, tundra...) ? However, something like that forces everyone to do realistic-type work.

I also like the idea of having 4 completely un-related categories.

[daveabr]

Let me know what you need Danny. I'd be happy to help out again. If I can swing it, I may even try and come up there this year. Not sure though. Lot going this year already. But ABR is all for helping you guys out either way.

[B.C. Creations]

awesome star! and even more awesome abr! you were a big help last year for sure. hope to see up here for it!

[FizZle]

...we could do technique based pieces, Enclamo, Wags, Sculpted, Honeycombs, Inside out, textured/blowins and just have each team rage there assigned technique as hard as they can...just an idea...

[Coal]

Wow, great ideas so far, second annual is gonna be off dah hoook!

[OracleGlassArts]

yea dude nice ideas for sure i cant wait!

[B.C. Creations]

heres a pic of me presenting the check from last years pieces to the schools art teacher.

[FizZle]

nice...she looks happy...good work putting this thing togeather...lookin forward to this yr for sure.

[Icarus]

Awesome! Thanks again for putting this together and for helping out some great causes (in case anyone didn't know, Danny donated 20% of the money from the sale to the forum, which really does a lot to help keep the lights on and the pipes from freezing).

Very cool of everyone involved.

[B.C. Creations]

yyyuuuuuuuppppppp!!!!!

like i said before.....im proud to have been able to help and meet all of you. cant wait for this years event

[Coal]

I will be doing my best to bring as much glass as possible to the event so that I may trade up with you other wonderful artists. I hope you do the same. That is all good day, and I cant wait.

[B.C. Creations]

just ordered a go pro hero camera to film stuff at this years event. got the chest mount and all. i believe its the same cam jason lee made that inferno vid with. cant wait to learn how to use it before the event.....PIMP!

[Coal]

My bro an I did a lil filming in our shop last week with a gopro. easy to use and nice wide angle. not much to it but start, stop and a few other functions. If yah need help just ask. Btw I was reviewing the footage i took at last years g.l.a.s.s. I should really edit that a bit and throw somthin up. oops

[IsthmusColor]

I'm down to kick it with the art teacher... And to throwdown up in the Bc again. I like the biospheres idea combined with technical themes. Yeah buddy

[Julian]

Yeah Coal, you have at least two hours of me swearing! That must be good for something, at least hip hop samples.

[ithruxix]

you know it!

themes........

astrological signs.....do a series of pieces, instead of 4 large collabs, with each sign being covered.

earth, wind, fire, water.......4 large pieces

super heros.......just pick 4 super heros and do 4 large peices or a series of smaller peices



the goal is to make these pieces functional but at the same time not really being able to tell. for example how RAM makes his latest pieces. not trying to drop any names........



Can you do a hybrid animal theme too?

I've been REALLY wanting to see some wicked hybrids...

[Blade]

You are doing BIG THING Danny, keep it up!

[B.C. Creations]

oh no not the bassalope again?????

thanks blade! anything i can do to make a positive difference. thanks for all your support. couldnt do it without the awesome people in this industry. this event will be the wisconsin project at some point.

[star]

I like the hybrid idea! Mecha w/ Dinosaur... land w/ fish... plant w/ reptile... sky w/ arachnid.. who knows

[ALIEN!]

Ligers are pretty much my favorite animal. Half lion, half tiger. Bred for their skills in magic.

[Icarus]

Has anyone been to Wiilies game farm? Being from Wisconsin, some of you may know what i'm talking about.

They actually used to have a liger. They are a real thing.

[ALIEN!]

For those of you that havent been to Willie's

37520

[B.C. Creations]

wtf? looks like a monkey with yack hair on its head, tiger stripes on its sides and has the back of a stegasoraus?

NOW THATS A HYBRID!

[Julian]

I liked the more open ended style of the previous year's plan.

[star]

Yea, hybrids are funny but I do agree. Giving people room to interpret a broad/open-ended subject might yield more creativity and possibilities. Otherwise we'd all have to be decent at animal-sculpting. I liked how all the groups' pieces had lots of "parts" last year.

[Coal]

Yes I agree. if we are too specific I dont think it will turn out as well.
Also I think that each team should also focus on not just one main piece, but a set as in jar, chillum, spoon, sherlock, bub, whatever and main piece.

I know our team busted ass on some crazy fish thing. It turned out but almost was an epic failure. We pulled through... but i felt we spent way to much time on keepin it from failing... and in the end I felt like some of the less exp. guys on the team didnt get the opt. to really help out and be as active as they could have. I ment that as we could have used more stuff they made and been more involved from a team base.

It all worked out, and everyone had a great time. But this year im comming with exp from last year and I think we all learned how hard it it to coordinate 6 people into making some shit in two days!!!

Bring it on!

[B.C. Creations]

we need a couple bigger named artists to step up and join us. coyle was a big part last year and wont be making it. so thats one down. havent talked to budman yet. if hes not making it then that will be 2 leaders missing.

are we not trying to hide the fact that they are pipes? that was a big part of last years. they all looked like sculptures and you had to look closely to notice they were pipes. id personally like to stick with that but am up for anything. i feel if they are more sculpted than just pipes we might get more recognition.

[Coal]

I get what your saying. But are we going for a "incognito" look? If so then fuck making it a pipe. Lets just do sculpture/pipe team choice. I didnt realize we where kinda hiding it behind a sculpture.

The concept of multiple pieces is from a place to get everyone invloved, and resale point of view.

Im just throwing out ideas, I want this to be even better than last year, more productive to boot. Just honest here.

I had a great time last year, learned a ton about team work and leadership. You dont have to be a "big name" artist to be a leader. You need leadership skills, and coordination. Not easily done.

Whatever we decide to do as a group, im down and will 100% go for it.

[B.C. Creations]

i hear ya. that was the whole deal last year was hide the fact that it was a pipe. it made people push their limits and got us more recognition. there are plenty of things newer artists can make that can be incorporated into a piece.

most bigger name artists that would be into doing something like this would have leadership skills as they would more than likely have done collabs before. i already have a buyer for this years pieces. we just have to make them.

maybe we dont have any newbie artists participate? maybe we need to make it that participants have x amount of time in? i dont know and i really dont want to exclude people either but i also want all who are signed up to participate.

like i said im open for what ever.

[Julian]

I viewed it more as we were to make something that had more of an idea going on that just a typical pipe shape and colors.

It was quite a challenge to get together with 6-7 people I'd never met, in a shop I'd never been in, and try to turn out a large, top quality piece in less than 2 days. What we really needed to do was spend more time organizing and planning the piece before starting.

[B.C. Creations]

that is why we are discussing this now. last year i anounced the teams 2 months before hand so the teams could talk about their plan of action. most of the teams knew what they were making to some extent and had colors picked out way before the event. same needs to be done this time and thats why we are discussing it.

i still dont know who all is coming at this point. i have a list of maybe 10 for sures. we atleast need to figure that out to start.

so far i got
coal
alien
fizzle
mr. ed
glassilluzions
ganjakru
star
wisetron
lupe

im sure im forgetting others.

next we need a theme or direction. i like the elements theme....earth wind fire water. or?

[OracleGlassArts]

Yea I second that Julian.

I know I'm not as experienced as others, but I can lead a team if no one else steps up. From my team at least last year, there wasn't much solid plans set before the start, even tho we had a bunch of time in advance to meet or at least talk. I think we should set a timeline up for having a drawing or structure/function submitted before we head up, just to make sure we stick to one plan rather than going for it blind.

I liked the techniques based them kinda, could be limiting on the sculpture and styling.
The biospheres sounds like it would push us to get creative, I think I like that the most.
Elements would basically take care of color choices, simplify that aspect.

[B.C. Creations]

heres last years spring team thread for which you were on alex......scroll down on the first page and look at the drawing.
http://www.talkglass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=38679

and heres the final product. your team def knew what they were making going into it and didnt go in blind. thats the exact reason why we need to talk about it before hand. create a plan and execute. which your team did fabulously.

[B.C. Creations]

i think we need smaller teams with not as many newbies.

edit.....or maybe we have less people with smaller teams? that might help the whole situation

[Coal]

lol, Danny that was great! I never saw spring teams pre session drawing. Im impressed how they executed it, got very close indeed. Looks pretty solid.

Edit: karl73 we neeed you!

[B.C. Creations]

exactly coal! the winter team had a drawing to that was pretty close to the final piece. it was a great base to start with.

[Julian]

I really enjoyed the experience, and learned a lot about working with a team. My observations are definitely intended constructively, so I hope you didn't think I was complaining about the event.

[B.C. Creations]

not at all julian. i am just trying to make sure we dont go in blind is all. sorry if it came off wrong.

edit...i have alot of planning to do with less time than last year.

[Coal]

i have alot of planning to do with less time than last year.

This means we all need to step it up a notch and get more involved, Danny... whatever I can do to help you know how to reach me. I really wanna see this succeed and develope from last year.

[OracleGlassArts]

What I meant is before that, we talked about a number of things I thought we were doing and ended up doing the picture. I really didn't have any say in doing that piece, that was Ed and jake's genious, but like I said the plans Ed and I had made before that got trumped. What I understood going into it was that we were doing a storm head and lightening bolts.

[Icarus]

Danny, I like your elements idea that you threw out a while back. It is similar in theme to the seasons theme from the prior year, but still open to interpretation.

Air, Earth, Fire, Water

If you went something like this, each team could kind of decide which way they want to go with it, whether they want to be sculptural in nature, or just use a color pallet that suggests that element (personally I'd love to work on the earth one, cause in my mind I'm thinking browns, moss greens, etc... and I like those colors)

You could even split it into 8 teams instead of 4, and give each of the elements to two teams to see what each team comes with.

I would stick with making these all pipes even if they don't look like pipes, as pipes sell. Art... sometimes sells.

That's my two cents.

[FizZle]

^ no worries icarus...im sure they will all be pipes :) thats what we do brother!

[ALIEN!]

so we gonna start drawing names from a hat? Pairs? I think pairs would be best. way less stress. Elements sounds good, lets do it.

I chatted up Karl via PM, sounds like he's interested, did you talk to him yet?

I like what Icarus was saying, you could put all the names in a hat, and the 4 elements in another, draw an element, pick 2 names, repeat till element hat is empty, then refill the hat w/ the 4 elements, repeat till the names hat runs dry. Would be cool to see what 2 different pairs come up with for the same theme.


do you have enough people signed up yet to start drawing names yet Danny?

[Hazeey]

Don't know if I can make it that weekend or not, I'll keep ya posted DP. Good to see it back, whoever makes it will definately have a good time. Thanx for hosting it again.

[B.C. Creations]

johno and sam flowers are coming. what you think i should cap it at for attendees? thats when i know if i have enough for drawing names.

dont have an exact list of names yet. still working on that.

[spiralout]

y no billy or freeek? how about terry king?

[B.C. Creations]

can you put a word in for me? i dont know either of them but i think jake tried them already?

[Icarus]

I had a thought last night about the elements theme. It's not really considered an element (or I guess it is depending on which book you're reading / game you're playing), but if you wanted to add another one to that, you could add a "Shadow" element. It would allow you to have one more thing so you could break groups up more, it would also allow for a dark (greys, blacks, etc...) color pallet, and it would allow some of the artists to work more dark in subject matter.

My other thought was a "Space" or "Celestial" theme. So like, "Sun, Moon, Stars, Black Holes, etc.." Since the money goes to a school, it kinds of ties in with learning and exploration, and also that's fun subject matter that naturally kind of lends itself to glass.

[star]

Just to double check, are the exact dates for this event May 26th and 27th?

[Julian]

Science would be a cool theme!

[B.C. Creations]

ya icky that does sound cool. if we had smaller teams we could have 8 or 10 teams and have two teams do the same elements to get two different takes on it. i think someone mentioned that earlier. that sounds like fun.

like i said before. im down for what ever.

star......yes those are set dates. works best for me with having a wee one on the way in june. easier on my prego wifey. also less skeeters and less heat. it shouldnt be 90 degrees then but who knows with the way this years going already. might be 100 by then......

we could do elements and science themes with 8 teams?

[star]

Just wanted to let you know that Henry G confirmed he'll be coming down with wieseatron and I.

[Julian]

I think Henry needs a new initial...

[Coal]

Yeah! Like Henry OG

[star]

Technically, it's "Hen-G", OG-Hen would work tho

sponsors.....
abr, glasscraft/winship, glassroots art show and weld specialty. i think im forgetting someone there?

[ALIEN!]

thanks Nick!

[OracleGlassArts]

For real thanks to all who help make this happen

[B.C. Creations]

sounds like freek might be in as well which would be huge.

[ed schmitz]

Smaller teams maybe Elements would be cool either way im down for raging

FREE JULIO

[ALIEN!]

^ yeah, but what the hell is he in for? Couldn't seem to get an answer on Facebook. Im all down for freeing Julio, but for all I know he's in for murder (of course I don't think that)

[Julian]

You couldn't get the answer on FB? He was walking across the street in Vegas and got nabbed for boring possession and some old warrant.

[B.C. Creations]

wait did i miss something? whos julio?

[Icarus]

...and what really happened down by the school yard?

[ALIEN!]

You couldn't get the answer on FB? He was walking across the street in Vegas and got nabbed for boring possession and some old warrant.


damn, poor guy

[B.C. Creations]

can those that are for sure about making it for this please pm me that you are coming so i know. i really gotta get that list going.

[star]

Just my 2 cents about team sizes, that occurred to me while droning away on prodo....

Last year, wieseatron and I attended and took time off our full-time jobs to make it. It was our first time meeting other pipemakers in person, as we are self-taught in the northwoods of wisco. So, neither of us were at a skill level to be very essential to the teams we were on. But we learned SO MUCH just by working with all the great people that attended.

Between G.L.A.S.S. and AGI, we decided to quit our regular jobs in the fall and go full time with glass!

My point is, if enough people can attend, it may be good to have team sizes of 4-5, so at least 2-3 people on a team can be of a level to create a solid piece, while those less-skilled can make easier parts and learn. I just hope others can have an experience as influential as we had last year.

Sorry for making an essay out of this, thanks!

[B.C. Creations]

thanks for the input star. oh and got your pm thanks

[B.C. Creations]

i think this year participants will be required to bring a piece of their own to donate to the event. made on their own time before the event. this will help raise more funds and i dont believe is too much to ask. i dont care if its a 2 dollar pendant or marble or pipe. or if its a 200 dollar piece.

ill be putting a list of participants together after 420. are we set on the elements theme? we can double up the elements if need be. either way i have to get a materials list out to the sponsors so they have time to put them together for us.

this is coming up fast. im excited!

You do make an excellent point there. Also, congratulations on being able to go full time with glass! That is awesome!

[B.C. Creations]

just talked to freeek and he says hes gonna show up for 1 day.

[FizZle]

^sweet!

[OracleGlassArts]

Wut? Wut? Meet Freeek!?

Just gotta say that's a dream come true for me, and worth a donation in itself.

[Paul Stephan]

Well, I would be completely down but I've got a race on Sunday of that weekend. I will definitely come out for the first day, and I'll bring a piece to donate too. Probably going to look like a pipe though ;) I'll try and drag Capn' Crunk with too...

[Icarus]

Woot! Moved stuff around and can make it Saturday!

Awesome! Looking forward to this! Thanks again for putting this on Danny!

[Julian]

Last year was great, wish I could make it this year. I'll be in Oregon.

Anyone thinking about going, definitely do!

[ALIEN!]

Weather should be nicer this year, so I promise to keep my shirt on this time :P

[Icarus]

^^^^

Well damn dude! That's half the reason I'm coming back.

[ALIEN!]

^ Ill give ya a little nipple action out back where no one can see us, no worries mate

[Icarus]

Deal.

[Julian]

Weather should be nicer this year, so I promise to keep my shirt on this time :P

Yeah, I guess I don't mind not going as much. Now it sounds boring this year to be honest... good thing I got lots of hot Alien shirtless photos last year! Anyone want the .rar file, send a PM.

[B.C. Creations]

you guys are sick!

paul.....awesome of you to join in!

i am waiting a few more days to release teams as there seems to be a few scragglers.

julian....im bummed you wont be making it. should be better than last year. have fun in oregon. gotta say i am jealous of you. i miss it out there.

[daveabr]

Hey BC......looks like I won't be back from Atlantic City in quite enough time to swing up that way. Bummer. But, I am in to help you folks out again with some goodies. Hit me up soon if you want.

[B.C. Creations]

cant wait!

[spiralout]

great to see a bigger involvement from some of the wisco peeps. Coals bro is an interesting pen name by the way

[B.C. Creations]

ha! i only know him as coals bro. this ought to be fun!

[FizZle]

woot woot looooks fun danny...cant wait!

[Icarus]

Awesome. Great teams.

Wind team, do you want to start a thread to start to plan things out? Sort of how it was done last year? I know most of us are on here with some regularity, so it might work.

Also, does anyone need a ride up from Madison? I'm going up early Saturday and either leaving late that night or camping the night and leaving at around 9 or 10 the next morning.

[Hazeey]

Super bummed I can't make it this year, have fun all. I'l be there in spirit for the safety breaks, of which there should be plenty. Can't wait for the pics.

[Coal]

Haha coals bro's name is critter! fyi
I am so lookin forward to this!

[B.C. Creations]

cool. nice to know. i been hearing lots of good things about your glass. cant wait to see some of it. you should see if tom wants to come up. hes more than welcome.

[Paul Stephan]

Ok well I'm not sure that I can lead a team only being there for 1 day... Pretty much need to pack up and split around 8pm at the absolute latest on Saturday; I have to be up at 6am to race on Sunday in Milwaukee so...

[B.C. Creations]

just got the message that you called. if you can lead the day your here i can take over when you leave. im fully capable of leading but i have alot on my plate for that day keeping everything going smoothly. i hope that we are done on the first day and the second day is just for wraping up. let me know if that works.

[Paul Stephan]

Yeah, I hate to do it but I should probably step down from being one of the team leaders...sorry about that, that was what I was calling to talk to you about Dan. Being that I have a commitment the next am I know I'm going to have to get out of there way earlier than I think. I actually just wanted to come hang out and heckle everyone, without blowing glass. I guess they call that moral support? That's why I was saying that I'd bring a tube or something to donate...is that ok?

[OracleGlassArts]

i can probably get dennis from windlake to come still danny, he seemed pretty interested. if you need to fill a spot let me know and ill get you guys in touch or talk him into it the rest of the way. hes on here but i cant remember his name, something like blueflametorchworx

[B.C. Creations]

no problem paul.

ya alex hit him up. i got another call from a random milwaukee glass blower that wants to participate. im sure someone else will wanna join the party too.

[OracleGlassArts]

Cool will see tomorrow then

[MUPH]

WTF how did I miss this..

[B.C. Creations]

theres still a little room if you want to attend.

[B.C. Creations]

so it turns out theres a ufc pay per view on the 26th. anyone interested in getting it? we do have cable in the shop.

[Sammy Flowers]
