Nicole was so excited to take lampwork lessons, she wrote and asked if she could come all the way from Chicago the next day!  She was thrilled that she could come on such short notice.

Anyway, we had a blast and she's absolutely flippin' adorable.  By the way,  I don't believe anyone I have ever known has driven quite so fast from Grand Rapids to Cadillac!  She was anxious to start melting glass!

Thanks for a wonderful time and all the great laughs.  I do hope we can stay in touch!

Chris,
I can't thank you enough for letting me come at the last minute like that. I had a great time learning about lampworking from you and teaching! I appreciate your patience with me as I tried to make one of my dreams come true (encased floral).  I just hope I can hold all this valuable information in.
I want to thank you and your family for making me feel comfortable, your husband is a great cook (I know my mother was smiling down on me as I ate the Salmon and green beans) and your children are beautiful.
I look forward to learning even more from you both as a lampwork artist and a teacher.
Thanks again,
Nicole
