I Need Some More Schooling

I have learned a ton of stuff from reading off of this forum, but I
am a hands on person (see and touch). Went to a one day class
in Galveston (Beginner class) and learned a lot. I have a kiln and
have done approx 15 fusion projects, slumping and a drop through.
Want to learn more....
Anyone within a few hours drive of Houston and a few years of
fusing would be great.
My real job lets me slip out just about any day of the week.
Thanks

Paul Tarlow lives in Austin and he gives classes.
Now, you are smitten with the bug that has gotten all of us.

I have seen his name everywhere on this board, how does
a simple Houstonian get in touch with Paul.

Paul has a website. You might go there for contact info if he doesn't answer soon.

My boss gives a two day private fusing class in Fort Worth. You use the big kiln to fuse a large piece and slump the next day. While the big kiln is "cookiing" you then use the smaller kilns. Larry is going to do a pattern bar class soon and some more advanced classes this year.
The shop has a website but the classes aren't up to date. But you can get info. on the private classes and location.

You can e-mail me if you want more info.......although Paul would be closer and I have heard nothing but good things about his classes.

Sugarland/Missouri City, about a hour from you. Went to the garage
this am to check on a 12" drop through I did last evening, the piece
was beautiful but it was also in 10 pieces. The drop ring was in three
pieces. Probably a hundred reasons why it came apart and this is why
I need some more schooling and soon.........
Since you are an hour north of here do you ever teach.??
Thanks

Most of what I know I've learned from a great teacher here in Dallas who will be opening her own studio sometime later this year. To date, she teaches in 8 week sessions, but plans on weekend workshops once she has her own set up. Send me your email and I'll make sure you get on her mailing list.

Many thanks to all for the info. I figured out my
drop ring dilemma. Apparently dropping glass on both
sides of the ring aint right. Even though it was just
a little bit (3/4") over on the out side.
Thanks
