BOC night! (Chicagoland) June 16, 2017
Friday evening June 16, at Fine Line in St Charles IL.
I love the BOC program, and at our last faculty meeting I asked if we could dedicate a session (or more) to specifically make BOC beads for donation. This will be our first one. We have 12 torches, good ventilation, glass donated by Ed Hoys (about 5 pounds), eye wear, mandrels, bead release and basic tools. (graphite, tweezers etc...) I'll also likely bring a bunch of bead rollers. I'll open the doors at 5, and close them at 9. Can't get there until 7? not a problem! I'm just opening the doors at 5 kind of like an open house. If you're interested in coming, please e-mail eileen@fineline.org. https://fineline.org/pages/map-and-directions |
Hi Sheri, what a really cool idea! I've not been to the Fine Line in eons. I taught there a gazillion years ago, and it will be nice to visit again. I would love to join you! Sounds like a lot of fun. I'll send you an email. Looking forward to meeting you and getting beads made for these special kids=D>=D>!

My buddy, Tara, and I have signed up and are looking forward to this really special event. It's a great thing you have organized!! It's about time we had a BOC round in the Chicagoland area. It's been difficult to find the right place and time I think. It think the timing is PERFECT! And the studio in Fine Line is superb. Bravo! =D>=D> So good of you to share this. See you Friday! Hope to see some ol' friendly faces there....

Yay!! I'm so happy you'll be there! It's a new thing for me, and I don't know how many people will be there, but it will be fun!!
We've signed up/requested to be an official host studio for BOC this fall too. |

Here's the main pile. (Phone pictures) I've included a few from my workbench at home .

Hi Sheri, thanks for the photo! So hard not to see beads as they come out the next day from the kiln. That was always my favorite part of making them; the sweet surprise of AWE (I love colors, it doesn't take much to amuse me, LOL)!
That said, I can't wait for redemption time when you and The FINE LINE host another of these events in September=D>=D>=D>! I need it badly as Im a bit rusty:wink:. |
