my name is ryan. im very new here. Im a Senior in highschool at College park high in Pleasant hill, ca (east bay) were doing a project called senior experience. basically what we need to do is go out in the real workd and...experience something (imagine that!) i REALLY REALLY want to learn some lamp working techniques. The problem I run into is people wont tell me anything unless I take their class. there is no way i can afford a class. the project doesn't even allow us to spend more than $20.00. im kind of in a hard spot. i have been doing small beads on a hot head so i have some knowledge of working with hot glass. if ANYONE can teach me, or knows of someone that can teach me please write to me.

thanks alot and much love.

Ryan A
