Bye the way there is a tented craft day in newtownards this friday 6th. People demonstrating their crafts for AUGUST CRAFT MONTH in the square from 11-4. Its all the crafters who are involved in this CRAFT MONTH in Co Down and they are running various workshops at their studios.You can get more info at Ards Craft shop. Its the same thing you were talking about Rachel a few pages back.

Yes I saw the info on the programme I downloaded googling 'craft month NI' but unfortunately most of them are through the week and i work full time!! There's a really good weekend masterclass on glassblowing too which I'd have loved but was over £300!!!

thats nice that you liked my little poem. I was in TX MAXX in BOW STREET MALL today and down at the back they had a lot of cardstock (american) patterns really lovely and very reasonably priced. They also were selling packs of plain cards/envelopes a lot cheaper than elsewhere. You should have a look.

Thanks for the info but it will all probably have gone when I get to Lisburn as I am off to scout camp for a week.
A week of sleeping in a tent, lying on the ground and to put up with 42 scouts and leaders!!!!
Oh happy days!!! :j

Hey Rach & Glassact

I have an old glassblower friend, he has now moved back to the states but I could probably put you in 'virtual' contact with him. He was also selling off loads of equipment a while back, don't know if there is any left or not - if there is it is in Fermanagh. If you want me to try and put you in touch with him, let me know. He is vvvvv talented!

Hi Smokie! Yes, I may be interested if he has any gas or glass rods or other bits left over - I don't actually blow glass yet but have been trying a bit of lampworking making beads and rings. I get all my equipment from Tuffnel Glass in England but a contact in Enniskillen would be fab! Thanks
