How about now?

From Deb's website:

The sign up is now open for GS West, 2011, read on for how to enter!

Come and join us for the 9th annual Glass Stock 2011! A sharing, collaborating event which has run for 8 years on the Oregon Coast by Deb Crowley and many other fantastic artists with much success! From a small gathering of 30 of Deb's friends in 2003 to almost 90 in attendance in 2010, this event has grown in popularity with artists willing to teach and share for the opportunity to do the same. It is a chance to get "out of the box" and learn new skills, get priceless feedback and inspiration.

Glass Stock West 2010 was such a huge success that Eugene Glass School and the GSWest team are excited for us to come back again for GS West in 2011, woohoo! It will be in Eugene, OR on Labor Day weekend, Sept 1st-4th, 2011.

The price for the 4 day event is $550. This includes 6 half day classes, all supplies, plus open torches, evening festivities and Sunday evening auction. A few classes like wire wrapping and PMC (Silver clay) will have fees, most classes will not have any additional fees. We will have a Meet and Greet to start things off on Wednesday night before event begins! A list of nearby lodgings will be posted soon, there are several hotels/motels in the area. Hot, yummy meals will be available from the Master Chef Saeed at EGS for a very good price right at the venue! Lodgings and food are NOT included in tuition!

So bummed I have to miss it again this year! Who gets married on Labor Day weekend?? UGH! Love the kids, but would much rather be melting glass with you all!

Is it too early to plan for 2012?? :hide:

My favorite yearly event! I'll be there teaching again!!!
Last year will be way hard to top. The band was AMAZING!!!

Loved the band!

I missed the band last year. Looking forward to a little more time at the event this year.

Some of the links on the website were broken - if you were having trouble with them, they should be fixed now.

Deb - the fishie arrived in the mail before my weekend classes and show. Its AMAZING.

The band made very fun background music for torching.

As I've told you, you need to keep better control over your friends and family. :(

It's not even MY kids! The nerve! :rolleyes: I wish I could get out of it, but I can't. We were in lamaze class together so that's 30 years.....GULP!

Next year, come hell or high water, I'm coming!! My son's getting married 8/5 (GULP!!) & I will be ready to partay!! \\:D/\\:D/\\:D/

woo hoo!! I got my lottery application in back in December! Had to go back and make sure since I can't remember anything more than 5 seconds ago. At work I call that my 5 second rule.

Deb, sent you a PM!

Brenda

bump...

Well, we will be having that same band (hopefully.... awaiting confirmation) but I am going to try my best to make this year even better. I will say it is getting hard to top it each year, but with Margaret Zinser and Bandhu, well, let's just say I am super excited too!
We will be notifying attendees (and scholarships) this Sunday night with a newsletter from GSWest. It will have payment options and class sign up info. Please save this for your records! Please also preview the classes up now, schedule will be posted in the next 2 weeks.

Get ready everyone, payments and sign up begin Sat, June 4rth at 9am PST!

Hope to see all of you there!
Hugs and happiness from deb and the GSWest team!
