Possibly moving

[c2frasier]

I have been in the north central part of Wisconsin for a bit and i am thinking of moving to arizona. I was wondering if anybody knows much of the scene there.

hey I am in AZ

theres a lot of lampworkers in the phoenix/tucson area... but where I am (prescott) there isn't too much going on.

We will be setting up a nice size operation in tucson in the next year or so.
It has a growing scene( tucson and phoenix more so then anywhere else)
There is 1 public studio in tucson and 1 (I know of) in phoen/sedona area.
No local place to get supplies yet ( but this will change when we get out there)
There are a few production shops and random blowers around. (Its def. getting bigger.)

Ever since I stopped in Flagstaff a few years ago and sold almost $2k worth of glass to stores there for a LOT more than I get up here, I've wanted to move there. I love Flagstaff, it's a cool place, kind of reminds me of Ashland OR. It's got a mountain to ski, a college, not far from vegas... If I ever move back down south I'd probably move there, it doesn't even seem like Arizona.

I personally don't think I could work in the Phoneix or Tucson heat, it's hot enough in the shop up here in Oregon in the summer.

Oh and I have to add Arizona has the nicest sunsets in the U.S. out of the 44 states I have been to.
