I'd like to add to the common sense post here. I'd also advise against
low cut t-shirts (cleavage is a hot glass magnet) and other items that
expose a lot of skin. Remember, it's not just YOUR skills that we're talking
about here - but the skills of a WHOLE table of people. Some of the classes
are more challenging glass wise, and in some cases there was a LOT of
glass popping all over the place. So even though YOU torch in a low cut
shirt, your neighbor might be the one with the shaky hands and the popping
glass skills.
I still have a nice burn on my wrist when someone (she who will not be
named) reached across me with a hot mandrel and branded me (I guess
that means we're engaged or something).

I wear shorts through most of it, some years it is just too hot not to, well for a coastie it is, besides teaching I do a lot of running around I used to live in Vegas (UGH! I hated it!!!!) and got used to 110 all the time...now 85 seems HOT, lol!
We would prefer you wear only cotton at event....safer. Shorts, capris, sandals, all at your risk but we all wear them!
Hope that helps.....see you all soon!
