    Default One of the Most Beautiful Events I've ever been too.

    AGI was One of the Most Beautiful Events I've ever been too!
    It was a Week long class for glass by a wide variety of people teaching, showing tips
    and just in general being the the most friendly giving people I have met in a long time.
    I learned so much it will take weeks to put together and try out things I've learned there.
    I learned what I was doing wrong with the compression marbles.
    Someone taught me to puff puff puff...then to blow out a tube to a bulb
    I learned how to control the heat better by keeping the torch in the edge of the flame, and not letting it get out of control.

    I met a ton of great people, and really enjoyed AGI.
    I'm a bit of a hermit, and don't normally get together for things like this, and am very
    glad that I did. If I didn't get to say good bye it was because I was rather choked up over it being
    over and was too embarrassed about it, but suffice it to say Thanks to Everyone at AGI.
    Nicest bunch of people I've met up with in a long time.

    Here is the link to my public facebook album with a few of my best photos. I enjoyed spending the week sharing my love of glass with everyone. This was my 6th year and the best. I really appreciate all of the hard work by the staff Tom, Elaine, Scott, Ivan, Wynn, Tim, and many more. The demos were fantastic.

    If you are on Instagram, search for AGI 2015 and of course TimfuckingDrier, not sure why that was so funny but it really was. He is so talented and a great guy with awesome sense of humor.

    I'm gonna try to figure it out Stroker. My pics were with camera and are on laptop. I only know how to do instagram on phone We'll see if I can figure this out. Keith was giving me instagram training at AGI.

    Here is the link to my AGI 2015 album with 86 photos that is in Drop Box. I have drop box on phone and laptop but can't figure out how to get images from dropbox to instagram. I uploaded a few phone pics to IG. I love having pictures to remember the good times.

    You can either camp out or stay at a motel about 15 mins away.
