Hi,
I am thinking to set up a working station on my camp during Burning Man festival (
http://www.burningman.com/). The idea is to show what is lampworking and how exciting this process is. I searched through this forum but it looks like nobody did it before.
Some challenges I see are
- altitude at 4,000 ft.
- wind and dust in air (I am not planning to work through very windy conditions but it always some quantity of dust anyway)
- dust has a slight alkaline reaction
I am planning to bring HH with regular BBQ propane gas, very basic tools and colors, and work mostly with simple shapes and techniques to get more beads quickly. No kiln, no cleaning, beads from vermiculite are ready to pick up as soon as temperature allows.
I will appreciate any tips on that approach.
Thanks,
Julia
