HELLO!
Hope this finds all of you ready for the next season of glass work! Hope also that you all had a wonderful summer!
To my new subscribers and future students – Welcome!
To all of you, I sooo look forward to seeing you again! Pepper and Ezzy too!
Here is the schedule for upcoming workshops and courses. I hope that these dates work for you for the ones you are interested in. Cinnamon coffee, music and laughter are included!
Heads Up! I am going to try smaller classes and workshops, so register early!
Private Workshop/Class
Private classes are available for help in designing,
colour/glass selection, soldering and other techniques. This can be cost effective and very productive as I am totally focused on you and your project. I keep you on track, as my fee is $90/hr. Always seem to lower the final price. Lol
Just a Reminder
No room to work at home? Want some company? You can come and work in the studio if you would like, Wed. to Sat. from noon to 6:00, no need to call first, you just might have to wait a sec until I clean a spot for you! I work until at least 9:00 pm on those days, so evenings can work too if this is better for you. Just let me know. $5/hr includes grinder time. FREE for current students. No instruction or teaching – not fair to the other students! Tools available as well if needed. Please call for more info.
Chitchat
Wow what a summer! Too cold and wet, then boom! Too many things to tell you, but I will keep it short!
Tried for “open by appointment only for the month of July”, but it didn’t work, lol, so I closed for 2 weeks and gardened, totally dirty and loving it. Winter was not kind to some of the trees and plants, but all fixed now. Weeds, weeds, and more weeds!
We had wonderful family visits, wonderful food, and swimming in the river with the kids!
David got all the maple drawer fronts installed in the kitchen – what a difference –perfect. Yeah again! I have the other 5 bathroom windows all ready to go too!
Just a laugh for you, before I go!
THREE TREES AND A WOODPECKER
(COPIED FROM THE LAUGH FACTORY!)
Two tall trees, a birch, and a beech, are growing in the woods. A small tree begins to grow between them, and the beech says to the birch, “Is that a son of a beech or a son of a birch?” The birch says he cannot tell, but just then a woodpecker lands on the sapling. The birch says, “Woodpecker, you are a tree expert. Can you tell if that is a son of a beech or a son of a birch? “The woodpecker takes a taste of the small tree and replies, “It is neither a son of a beech nor a son of a birch, it is, however, the best piece of ash I have ever poked my pecker into.”
Hope that made you grin! ( Or laugh out loud! )
