What is it:
A social opportunity to get
together and learn more about torch working borosilicate glass. Each club
meeting will include some instruction and guided torch time. You will try
out new techniques and have your questions answered. It is time to get
behind the flame with your peers and make exciting creations. There will be
some show-n-tell as well as demonstrations.
It's like a class, but more
social. It's all about community and fostering education in borosilicate
glass.
How much does it cost:
The meetings cost $50 per person
Boro Club Meetings will happen
the first Tuesday of every month from 6-9pm
- includes 2 hours of torch time
- private instruction from Leah
Pellegrini
- anyone renting torch time
during the Boro Club meetings will have to pay the $50 fee regardless of if
they are in the club (that is if there is an open torch for them to rent)
- preregistration for the
meetings is encouraged, that way we know how many people are coming, call
the shop in advance to reserve a torch!
All club members are encouraged
to use the FaceBook Group page to discuss their interests, show pictures of
their current projects and get inspiration for future projects. Each club
meeting will be focused on what the group has shown interest in. We use this
FaceBook page to make the discussion accessible all month long, and the
monthly meetings to offer continuing education.
Join the fun! All levels of
experience are welcome. The only requirement is that you have taken at least
an Introductory Borosilicate class and you have a keen interest in torch
working borosilicate glass. Come join the fun and challenge yourself.
The monthly Boro Club meetings
will have a max capacity of 8 people (because there are 8 torches available,
that way everyone gets their own torch) but participation in the club (as in
getting involved with the group online) is limitless in size. If there is
more demand for meetings, we will schedule more!
