Hi everyone,

After reading this forum for a long time and educating myself about lampworking, I have finally decided to start working with glass myself.
My name is Pille and I live on Vancouver Island, Canada.

I took a class from Damaris from the RedRoom in Nanaimo and I made my first beads about 3 weeks ago and have been going at it ever since.
I converted my 12x12 shed into a studio, got a kiln from MacKilns called the Lilly (since I want to do fusing and slumping in the near future, I thought it's the perfect kiln for me). I've got a 600CFM ventilation hood.
I've been using Mapp gas with a hot head, but my Nortel Minor should arrive on Monday - I can't wait to stop running back and forth to the hardware store to buy more gas every couple of days! I'm also waiting for an oxygen concentrator to arrive within the next week or so.

Anyway, I thought I'd post a couple of pics of my studio setup. It's sill not complete, I need to stock up on LOTS of glass and some cool tools! But what I've got is a start anyway.
