-Fourth National Glass Bead Exhibit-

INVERMERE, BC
'Molten Obsessions 2006' is the fourth in a series of well-received
exhibits showcasing exciting new work emerging from the torches of
glass beadmakers across Canada. The Pacific Pyros Glass Beadmakers
are again hosting the exhibit, and are pleased to announce that the show
will be held at Pynelogs Cultural Centre in Invermere, BC, and will run
from Tuesday, May 16 until June 4, 2006. An opening reception will be
held Saturday, May 20 from 5pm to 9pm, with artists attending. The show
includes work from both established and emerging artists, both single beads
and elaborate jewellery, and most of the pieces will be for sale as well as
display. Visit www.pacificpyros.org to view pictures of the 2005 exhibit.

Invermere is located in the east Kootenays, otherwise called the Columbia
Valley, just a few kilometres from Radium Hot Springs and south west of
Banff National Park. This beautiful valley lies between the Rocky Mountains
and the Purcell Mountain Range. The Columbia Valley is a popular tourist
destination especially for those who enjoy the great outdoors. For art lovers
Invermere is a hotbed of activity. Pynelogs Cultural Centre, on the shore of
Lake Windermere, displays the works of many of the numerous valley artists
as well as hosting performances in the warm, light-filled gallery. Pynelogs has
undergone extensive renovations, preserving the historical design integrity of
the original log structure built in 1915.

-Promoting Glass Beadmaking in Canada-

The Pacific Pyros is a non-profit club based in B.C. Our goals are to promote
awareness of glass beadmaking (lampworking) in Canada by exposing a wider
audience to this art form and to inspire creative development among beadmakers.
The show is open to all levels of glass beadmakers, from beginner to advanced.
We challenge artists to push the traditional boundaries of beadmaking and
encourage their creativity. The deadline for exhibition entry is April 1, 2006.

In the fine print, it says items must be "properly annealed." I'm assuming this means no blanket annealing? I can't afford a kiln yet. :(

When you put them in a blanket your not anealing.. your just cooling... they can be anealed later. Anealing is anealing... whether its batch or put directly in the kiln. I'm sure there are a number of lampworkers in Kamloops that could batch aneal for you. Try posting on the canadianlampworkforum and sure someone can help you out.

You can anneal later? *blink blink*

Oh my, that simplifies things a great deal. I had no idea. I'd hug you if I could. :)
