Default What happened to John Winter??

I met John at the opening of the new school in MD a couple of months ago ust after Beadfest Philadelphia announced their schedule. He was giving a metals/glass class and we discussed it. I just went to sign up for the class (he had 2 metals/glass and 2 others) and they are GONE!!! Not full, his bio has even been removed!!

Anyone have a clue??

His schedule changed after an issue at the Santa Fe Bead Fest, and he's not doing as many classes.

I just spoke with him yesterday. He's just completed an artist-in-residence position, and sent me some photos he had taken. He's a fantastic photographer - I'll ask him if I can post some of them next time I talk with him.

I talked to John not long ago, and he told me the story behind it. I probably shouldn't post the whole story here, but basically his classes were canceled without his knowledge.

However, if you are looking for some classes to take at Beadfest, I can recommend a couple...

That just sucks. I have some of his videos - He's very talented and such a gentleman with dry wit.

too bad Palmerton was so far in western PA.....I did check the beadfest classes and not too many lampwork classes in soft glass and i am still a "newbie" due to vision issues. I know from watching him demo, this would be a good glass for me (abstract, not detailed stringer work)... Susan

If you want to learn borosilicate, take my pendant class. I have had a lot of people take it who have never taken any borosilicate classes before. I've even taught it to people as their first glass class ever.
