What can you do in 24 hours?

Well, if you get a few dedicated lampworkers together, working in shifts around the clock, you can make 179 beads for children with cancer. I am proud to say that I was part of that team last weekend. And in spite of getting up at 3.30 am, and feeling less than bright 12 hours later, it was a whole lot of fun.

Here's a pic of one of the full kilns. How many mandrels can you see sticking out?

 Jo ( http://www.kitzbitzartglass.com ) donated her studio space, glass and practically everything else in her studio for us to use. Just look at that lovely full box of twisted glass canes.
