This brings back memories. Here is Jürgen Tank and Don McKinney during a Marble Class at The Glass Palette.
I learned lampworking from Don years ago and I still feel he is the best. His beginning lampworking class begins with the safety of the process. Safety comes first when it comes to the lampwork and glass blowing process.
Jürgen also took a glass fusing class taught by Don.
Here we are looking down into the kiln during the second day of the fusing class. So much to learn...so little time.
