Well, no hot shop this week - the furnace has burnt out an element already! A new one has been ordered from the US but will take a week or so to get here.
So in the meantime Lisa and I are getting ready for our workshop with Judith Schaechter on saturday.
We have got fourteen people booked for the workshop and they are coming from all over - Sydney, Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Newcastle and even Hobart!
Today we needed to make sure that we have got the space ready and all the equipment we need. The worktable in the upstairs studio is perfect and even has a built in lightbox. Lisa has borrowed a hand held sandblaster from Art Glass and I am bringing in a Dremmel with a flex-shaft for engraving. Judith is bringing some flash glass with her for the demo and we have got glass paints here if she needs them. Tomorrow I am borrowing some stools from our studio at uni for the weekend so that everyone can sit down - it's too long a day to stand all the time.
The last job was to make sure that everyone has got the address and has confirmed that they are coming - and that they know what the final payment for the workshop is - everyone has paid a deposit but it is only now that I know exactly what our expenses are and what numbers that we have coming, that I can work out the balance.
I have sent the web check-in details to ANU so that they can check Judith onto her flight tomorrow night. I will be picking her up at 9.30pm along with two of our visitors from Sydney (miraculously I have been able to get them all to arrive within fifteen minutes of each other!).
So that's it for today - no photos, but should have lots after saturdays workshop.
