Hi everyone,
 
I'm not sure if everyone has heard but the WCC is closing its doors, Sagamore Street is already closed and New Street will be closing soon - possibly the end of January.
 
How are people who rely on the WCC for torch time making out?  Are people looking looking for class and studio alternatives?
 
Let's start a discussion so we can help each other,
Lori

ISGB BOSTON CHAPTER FUN DAY with Emilio Santini 5th generation flameworker NO COST for ISGB Members!

Sunday August 17th from 9:30 to 1:30 with a cook out after wards- bring your glasses, a chair and a dish for the pot luck... Emilio will be demonstrating in both boro and morretti and is the master of both! ( Emilio is on his way to see his son starting college so will be taking off early in the afternoon- so come early and stay after to eat and catch up!)
 
If interested, contact lori "at" heiden-engle "dot" com for directions

Please bring a folding chair if you have one and your didinium glasses- as well as a dish to share for the pot luck!

UPDATE: I am VERY excited to say that Emilio will have some of his work for sale! I have convinced him to bring some goblets, human figures, and miniatures. First come first served- cash is best but we will have the option of master card and visa and of course checks. I believe this is the only venue in New England where you can purchase his work...

Also- one former member may be bringing some tools and equipment for sale- if you have similar items to swap/trade bring them along!

Items are no longer available thanks those at the May 17th meeting. 

Happy Beading, Linda

Hello, we just wanted to let you know that Heather Trimlett is coming to the studio to teach an advanced beadmaking class in March. You can check out the web site for more information www.queencitylampworks.com. Thank you for your time. Kevin

Heather is a dynamic teacher....lots of tips and tricks up her sleeves! Check it out.....

we have since made updates to the form to make it easier to submit payments...the form no longer opens a separate window and the script has been rewritten to be more compatible across all operating systems and browsers.

oh and your welcome

Just a quick FYI... I had a bit of a problem just now renewing online...
Turns out that I had my pop-up blocker on, and the new window that opens to paypal
failed to open, so I had to apply twice... sorry about that.
Anyone renewing via paypal should make sure that they have their blocker turned off.
Back to your regularly scheduled programming...

BTW.. thanks for offering this option...it was a pleasant suprise!
Now if only National would do the same!
