Bob Leatherbarrow's Class

Bonita (Nita) Crawford · Wed Mar 19, 2003 1:07 am

I did it! I registered for Bob (Cheers) Leatherbarrow's class on
Frit and Powders at Vitrum in May!! I can hardly wait.

Will anyone else on the Board be attending? I'd really like to meet
some of you.

Bob, I'm looking forward to learning so much from you. Hear you're
a terrific teacher.

Warmly,
Nita

Looks like it'll be a Warm Glass BB class.

I'm taking the frit/powders class too.

See you then........................................G'pa Jim

ps. I'll also be there this weekend for the Roger Thomas class, anyone else?

Margot says HI

Jim, I look forward to meeting you in person. Is your wife coming
with you? Margot? I've heard the class is great. I tried for the other
class, too, but it was already filled.

One friend told me Roger's class changed her whole direction in glass. I
heard raves about Bob and his class, too.

Warmly,
Nita

Jim: I'm looking forward to meeting you and Lisa this Friday if you're coming to Roger's lecture at Vitrum (7:30, not part of the class). If not, I'd love to stop in and say hi over the weekend. I just finished Roger's first session workshop and have not quite recovered. We were all so busy that by the end of the last day no one had the energy to stay late...we were all exhausted! This is an excellent workshop. There were too many suggested samples of techniques to finish during the three days, so we picked the ones most interesting. These will be come the backbone of a great reference set that will be added to. The format is 3-1/2 inch square samples.
We will have seen most of Roger's slides in class but attending the Friday lecture will give my impaired short-term memory some extra reinforcement. Have a great trip.

Jim, I am also taking Roger's class this weekend. Looking forward to meeting you and seeing more pics of Margot.

Nikki, yes I plan to come Friday night if there is still room. How about you, Jim?

Nita, you will love Cheers Bob's class. I took it last November at Vitrum.

Lisa

Bonita (Nita) Crawford · Wed Mar 19, 2003 11:01 am

Nancy and Cliff,

I am looking forward to meeting both of you. The class should be
fun and very worthwhile.

Lisa, thanks for the encouraging words.

Warmly,
Nita

Lisa: Do you know you're opening the door for a proud G'pa to bring his shoebox full of pictures? haha

Nikki & Lisa: Yes, I'm flying in Friday and plan on being at the slide show that evening. I was hoping to meet you both then. I'll call Vitrum again and remind them I'll be there too.

Nita: Don't know if Sue will come along in May, she may not relish be abondoned for several days while I play/learn glass. She will not come this weekend for the same reason.

Hi Jim,

I'll be there too (heh heh). I've expanded the class on frit and powder to cover some of the new "explorations" with wafers. I'm excited!

Jim, Are you going to bring that little sweetie along too?

Cheers

Bob

That might be quite a challenge were it possible. She will be walking, or should I say running, by then and I predict she will be "investigating" everything.

Myabe I can bring her if WGW is in Portland again. She lives in Eugene.

Brad..

How does the new program cover threads like this one that morph from kiln forming discussion to becoming candidates for either the photo board or Spab's place?

Brock · Post by **Brock** » Wed Mar 19, 2003 2:14 pm

Good question. Photos obviously belong on the photo page. Perhaps a link here to any photos people want to post. Brock

Brock & Carol: Sorry to have offended you. Just learning the new board, thanks for putting me in my place.

morphs and all that.

Threads morph. there is a natural progression, digression, degression in any conversation and I would not expect threads to be any different.

Along the same lines, there are times when inserting a photo in a non photo thread might help to illustrate a point in a discussion. So sometimes photos do have their place.

Jim, I didn't intend, nor was I trying, to put you in your place. You are obviously very proud of your grandaughter, as you should be, she's a beautiful little girl. I'm suggesting that links be provided to pictures like these, so that people that wish to, can view them. Brock

No worries Jim. Just thought that Spab's place might be a great place to look for Margot sightings...

Nita, Jim, and Cliff.
I signed up for Cheers Bob's frit and powder class too, and am looking forward to meeting you-all. We're going to have a great time. I took his more general class last year at Vitrum and made a huge leap in understanding how different colored powders react with heat and each other.

I'm considering taking this class after reading all of your posts, but it's hard to think about it right now after last night's news events!

Perhaps I should just do it anyway!
