The first workshop was a blast. We spent the morning discussing the aspects of the various molds of mine, the ones that work as well as those that do not. Demonstrated several of them, pointing out the differences in the set up for each particular design. Then the fun began.
Each person in the workshop had a different approach and seemed to identify with different materials (I showed up with a variety of interesting shapes of different materials to help inspire). We spent the day helping each other, which was a fantastic way to get a little bonding action in prior to getting into the Hot Shop.

As a student in the first class, I can say without hesitation, it was two days of creativity, inspiration, hard work and lots of fun. Phil is a great teacher and we all had a great weekend.
