You can also check out The Crucible. It's right off the West Oakland BART station. http://www.thecrucible.org Even if you don't end up learning at The Crucible, you should definitely consider checking out The Crucible's Fire Arts Festival, an open-air exhibition of interactive fire art, performance and the largest collection of outdoor fire sculpture on the West Coast. Dates are July 15-18 and tickets are on sale now. And we're always looking for volunteers which can get you in for free! Some of the people listed above are performing in the festival too. Performance line-ups are at: http://thecrucible.org/events/fire-arts-festival/157#stage Good luck and have fun, Penny!

Kudos for trying to find a teacher on these. Bay area has a plethora of good fire instructors, so hopefully you'll fine something good. For spinning arts I whole-heartedly recommend http://www.spinagogue.net/ They are some amazing spinners, and really good teachers as well. For finding teachers/styles you like, I'd check out the repository of SF area Spin jams: http://tribes.tribe.net/bayareaspinjams -- Good thread to ask for teachers on as well. Good luck in your searching!

I have for a while now.. In most things im self taught but this is an area where I feel a little professional guidance would do me a lot of good. I want to know the right fuel/oil to use, and pretty much what to do really without ending up in the hospital! I would be more than happy to pay you for your time :) Im in SF.. if your interested or have any advice please contact me!!
