Go Phil!!
But now that you are famous please don't say warm glass "isn't nearly as difficult as glass blowing". Say its MORE difficult...much, much more difficult!:wink:
Hope it brings in lots of clients!

Thanks for the positive feedback. There are some minor faux pas on a technical basis but for the most part it's all correct. I wanted to list just about everyone when he asked for influences and mentors but he limited me to one. Could not and would not be where I am today if it were not for all of the great people on the board and in all of the classes I've taken.

Congrats Phil. Nice article. They always get something(s) wrong. I am delighted to get any publicity I can, but always shudder in anticipation of how wrong it may be. Good luck with your new kiln, looks like a beauty. I like the color. Mine are an all natural iron oxide brown.

You're cute Brock, just not quite as cute as Avery - all the guys like her WAY better! In fact, I had lunch with one of them Monday -- wanna guess who?

There's a funny story on the topic to boot: A couple years ago when this teacher's pet wanted to travel across the country to take the class with you and Avery, his wife took a look at Avery's picture on her web site then said, "There's no way you're spending a week with that babe!" :lol:

Happily she changed her mind, and he's become one of the duo's star pupils. Who is this mystery man?

(Just for old time sake, Brock, if ya guess right I'll send ya a mag)
