Learning the art

Greetings! I'm new to the forum and just recently ventured into the wonderful world of Warm Glass. I'm wondering if there are any artists local to Chicago who would be willing to help break in a newbie to kiln technique or if anyone knows of classes/class in Chicago!
Looking forward to chatting with all!

Hi, Rob:
Welcome! Steve Klein is doing a workshop in October at Talisman Glass in Chicago; Sharon Gilbert of Talisman Glass sometimes teaches a 3-day kiln-forming class; see
http://www.talismanglass.com. Also, if you are willing to drive, Susan Slack who sometimes posts on this board teaches beginning kiln-forming also. She is north of the city: you can contact her through the board's private messaging.
Hope this helps to get you started.

Thank you so much for the info. The only person I know right now who does Kiln work with glass lives in Colorado so I'm looking forward to talk to some local artists!
I'll follow up with both of the suggestions!

Some of us Chicago-area warm glass people (and out-of-state visitors) will be getting together to view SOFA the week after Steve's class. Stay tuned.

Don't worry Rob, SOFA is Sculptural Object Functional Art exhibit. It is absolutely a NOT miss in Oct.
