2:30-5:30pm: Show and Tell of Glassblowing Holders and Jigs

We all have our little tricks on how we hold glass for seals and different joints, as such I thought it would be fun to see what kind of holder’s others use in their own shops. So, anyone who can, please bring a couple of holders or jigs that you use in your shop. Whether it be a way you use graphite tape to hold something or you made a specialty holder for a project, please bring it! For example, I’ll be bringing a holder that I always use for Ace threads, a 45/50 that I use for ring seals that I commonly do, and specialty glass holder I made for a project a couple years back.

5:30pm Banquet Dinner at Chandra’s House, (15$)
