This is something that was discussed as a great idea while we were down in Corning at Hot Glass Horizons. It seemed that the best way to learn more was to be able to have a 'critical mass' of warm glass enthusiasts all in the same place at the same time, so they can interact and learn from each other.
So, what we can up with is a monthly drop-in clinic all about warm glass. It will be on the second Friday of each month from September to May, from 7:00pm to 9:00pm. Each month will have a specific topic or demonstration. The first 30 minutes or so will be dedicated to the evenings' topic, followed by a round table discussion on warm glass. Any unanswered questions will be followed up on, and an answer will be presented at the start of the next month's meeting. Any results of the previous month's topic will also be welcomed for display & discussion.
In lieu of a fee, we will be asking for non-perishable food donations for the Ottawa Food Bank. There is a new email listing on our website that you can sign up for to get a monthly reminder the week before the meeting.
