TINK

I am GREEN WITH ENVY

I had a paperweight class a few years ago

and deadly desire to take a glassblowing class... sigh.... note your instructor graduated from BGSU ... in 1980 .... there wasn't EVEN A GLASSBLOWNG class when I went there-- Kent STate had one of course.... some of the great early glassblowers at Cedar Point came out of the Kent Program.... sob sob -- I wish I lived near a good glassblowing class.... I've always been a glassblowing fanatic - can sit and watch for hours -and probably DESCRIBE all the techniques - just never did them myself! LOL

Well I'm in the green with envy group. I wish I could take a class locally. Sigh...

Me too. I mean, of course there are tons of places I could learn here, but until the kids ae older it's not feasible.

When I was a wee lass of 21, my friend Morgan landed a spot as a glassblower's apprentice. I was so, so envious! Then the darn fool ran off to Seattle to become an architect. WHY OH WHY was that apprenticeship wasted on him? (I love Morgan... I just wish it had been me, instead.)
