ISGB and bronwen Heilman has an online workshop. Registration ends on Nov. 6. This is through the ISGB (international Society of Glass Beadmakers). Some flameworking in any glass is recommended. This is an intro to marbles class, but not really a beginning glass class. These techniques will work with boro or soft glass. Even if you are not new to marble making, there are a lot of tips and tricks throughout the class. And you have access to the class forever.

Here are the Beads of courage bead bags I sent in recently with matching beads for each bag. I mentioned them at Sunday’s meeting and thought you might like to see them. If anyone in this group sews and wants the pattern I can link you to the YouTube video I used. I have tags if you need somebut you can also purchase tags on the BOC website. I think it’s $10 for about 100 labels.

Our meeting will start at 12. Today. The worst part of the storm is to hit us at 10-11. Be safe. . We should be on alert for a possible late start/cancellation in my opinion.
Jo and I will provide deli meat and bread for sandwiches. Please chime in for sandwich fixings, chips, dips, dessert, etc!
Our challenge is "use 7 colors in a bead"k
