Heart of Glass

Heheh! The title sounds so over the top. This is how I imagine Quinton to be

Okay, ahem! Announcing the Murano Magic Workshop Extravaganza 2008. Quinton, of Glassworks in Belgium, the land of chocolates, frits and mussels, drinks of half half and a royal palace with a ceiling lined with green bug wings – has been busily organising classes and teachers (and a million other things I’m sure) for the MMWE for this March/April in Murano, Italy!

And I just so happen to have a ticket to London kind of around the same time so I can’t believe my luck that this has worked out, like it was meant to be and I am actually going to this event. It’s all very exciting and I’m sure you already know about it, BUT please do let me go on about it! We will have our own studio set up by the glass factory Vetrofond, on Murano. We will also be staying on Murano too, so it’s going to eat, sleep and drink glass for 3 weeks solid. But I will only be there for 16 days.

There is going to be a few different teachers doing classes over a 3 week period starting on the 17th of March. First up is Alessia Fatone, then Diana East, Dora Schubert, Pati Walton and then it’s Sarah Hornik. Sarah and Pati do some alternating days so that they get a break between some of their classes and also for everyone to get a break and see Venice, do some tours. So it’s a great mix of artists with different styles from different places so it should be great. The huge variety that all these teachers do will make it really interesting.

What else…Oh, we’ve heard we’ll get a tour of the glass factory (but no cameras allowed, so sorry no photos) and we’ll be having a party on the 6th

And, oh yeah, I’ll be blogging it here on my site. I’ll get there in the second week, so stay tuned from the 21st of March!
