Greetings!
I just wanted to start this thread for all those people going
to Glass Stock for the first time. If you are anything like all of
us who have been there before you, you are probably scared out
of your wits about doing the dreaded "Demo!!!!".
That's what this thread is about. For newbies to ask questions,
for old farts like us to tell you what we did and how it went, and to
answer your questions.
Here is the info straight from the acceptance letter:
Quote:
We REQUIRE that you share something glass related with the group
as a demonstration. We request that it take at least 20 minutes…up to an
hour or so is fine too. EVERYONE will do some type of demo, it may be
torching, fusing (bring examples of each stage with a finished one), hot
shop, faceting, wire-wrapping or anything glass related. These demo pieces
will be put in a draw with every attendee getting another demo from
someone else at the event.
This is very cool and we all love what we get. If you are new to glass
and feel your demo might not be “enough” for the draw…you may add to the
demo bead some other beads, findings, etc. In this way, most new
lampworkers feel better about winning a “known name” demo bead. Some
demos will be goblets, fused plates, beads, marbles, finished jewelry, you
never know what you will win!! You will be emailed appx 30 days before
event by GS staff for info on your demo. We will schedule these so
attendees can be prepared to demo in time. YOU will be providing supplies for
your own demo. Bring just enough supplies to complete your own demo
unless you want to share, mail supplies ahead if you want to!
