Big thank you to Brent Graber "Mr. Smiley"
Just wanted to let everyone know that I flew out to Yachats, Oregon from Cincinnati this past weekend to take a class on implosions giving by Brent Graber. I was a bit hesitant at first to fly and drive such a long distance, but the moment I met Brent I knew it was worth all the travel. Brent taught me more in two days then I have learned in the past two years. He is truly a class act and one heck of a teacher. After spending five minutes with him you felt like you were part of the family. It is truly refreshing that there is an individual out there that teaches you how to achieve more then you thought was possible. He had me making fairly good flower implosions almost immediately. If you ever have the chance to go see Brent do not hesitate he is a fantastic individual and is one of a kind. I'll post some pics when I get a chance of "before Brent" and "after Brent." Pam from glasshive stopped by, what a great gal.
P.S. he makes awesome lunch, and the beach it footsteps away

Ditto to all that's been said so far. Brent is a great teacher- not to be missed-and cause there's no place like home, in his new studio, teaching and learning is augmented by lots of smiles, and a heaping bowl of Oregon hospitality served along side great cooking! What a guy
