Murrini Updates

Some small progress on my Murrini skills after Loren Stumps workshops. (I'm happy with the Vampire clownfish ha ha:-)




After returning from a VERY WET camping trip and now all the flooding in Brisbane and Queensland....I'm ready to get back to the Studio.....Murrini Monday will be back online as soon as the kids are back at school on the 24th January....then I will be able to breath again:-)  There will be some great upcoming events in 2011 to look forward to.....I'll keep you posted on here and facebook.

I hope everyone has had a fabulous Christmas and New Year.  After a shaky start I'm looking forward to a fabulous 2011.

Cheers everyone:-)

Post Loren Stump workshops!!!!

Hi all!!!!  I have now recovered from a huge marathon with Loren Stump at my Studio in Brisbane at the end of July....he taught 3 days of Murrini and 3 days of paperweight classes. I'm sure all the students that attended would agree that it was a simply incredible experience and we are hoping that he will come back and visit us again next year!!!!

Loren is a true visionary and master of glass....he is self taught and knows glass like no-one else I have ever met.   He never says "it can't be done" he just goes and develops and works out ways to do it. His tirelessness in teaching is renowned and he is certainly someone who pushes the boundaries not only of himself but his students in class. Classes are known to go well into the wee hours....but in saying that all the students are on a 'high' anyway from the knowledge that is being imparted from such a great master of lampworking.

Day 5....couldn't keep my eyes open ha ha!!!!
















His legacy will be the amazing knowledge and understanding that he has shared with all his humble students around the world......we are certainly very privileged to have someone of Lorens talents, personality and calibre in our midst as an amazing teacher and true maestro of the glass!!!!

I stayed at the Walkabout Creek Hotel....made famous in the Crocodile Dundee movies....a great place to stay but certainly in the middle of no-where!!!
