Hi Sadie,
Wish I could come to Reno and Tahoe! Got those store hours to keep Tues thru Saturday. This class comes around in a revolving loop, as one of the beginner sequenced classes I teach. So, please visit when you can. I learned my hollow work from Steve Sizelove, Emilio Santini, and Robert Mickelsen. Blowing Glass at the torch is so much FUN!!!!!! I personally make a lot of wedding goblets for people, and it is an honor to do such for people! We use all the same tools from the furnace; such as, Cup Jacks, Cup Shears, Diamond Shears, Parchoffi, and Sophietta.
Call us sometime, and touch base, Thanks for the shout out,
Warm Regards,
