Lauri Copeland is awesome. I need to get ahold of her and chat again. If you have her coming to any place you can get, take her class.
If you have a teaching studio near by, just give them my info and have them call me. Have torch - will travel.
My teaching schedule for 2006 isn't full quite yet.
I think the Betta is going to be a godsend for those people on NG. It's an awesome little bead torch that will definitely melt boro and cost pennies to run. It's going to make me wish I had NG.
Kiko, I hear you... people that haven't worked boro on a boro torch don't know what they are missing. It really is forgiving and takes a beating. No thermal shock when you put a rod into the flame... it's blow and go renegade style. You don't have to baby boro, you can smack it around and it just smiles back atcha.
