End of Year Accomplishments – New Year Goals

December 28, 2009 by Cathi Milligan

How was your year? Did 2009 treat you right? Did you make all of the glass goodies you wanted to? What new techniques did you learn? So what are your glass goals for 2010? I’ve got lots of questions don’t I? And do we have answers? Are you going to any glass conferences in 2010? GAS in Louisville? ISGB in Rochester? Bullseye for a class or two?

My main goal for 2010 is opening a glass studio. Some place to work and play and live glass. Explore new techniques and tools and materials. And I’ll be writing about all of it giving you all updates as the date of opening grows nearer. All very exciting! This isn’t my last post of the year. I’ll be doing a last give away in the last day of the year…Thursday. I’m looking for something I want to have you guys tell me…may be about a the favorite thing you made this year. It may be the favorite thing you plan to make next year. Or where you’re going…I’ll keep you posted.
