Lets do it again
What's a Flame Off?
Well we bring hundreds of glass beadmakers together in 2 halls to play with glass and fire, sounds like a safety officers nightmare.
Upstairs in the top hall we will have 6 of the best Worldwide lampwork artists demonstrating in front of a camera so that the 150 seater area will have tv screens beaming all the detail to you, each artist demonstrates for 45 mins through the day.
Downstairs there is a sales area with traders , a "lampworkers village" with the leading artists selling there creations and a huge free taster area. The taster area will have benches set out were anybody can sit down and play with the glass , make beads , pendants or just melt and blob. If you have never made beads or played with hot glass before but wanted to then this is the show for you as you get a chance to sit and play , get tuition off the stewards and if you like it you can then buy all the kit to take home.
The demonstrations and taster benches are all free after you have paid the entrance fee and we are also running various classes [seperate charges for classes] . It is held at Towcester Racecourse on the 8th and 9th April 2011, just off the M1 with lots of free parking and is open on both days from 10.00am - 5.00pm

Holding the show over 2 days ( Friday and Saturday ) will allow us to space out the demonstrations and allow more time between demonstrations to shop, eat and meet friends from all over the country.Suppliers from throughout the U.K will be there to sell you lots of goodies. Upstairs will be classes and we are to create a "lampworkers village" of artists selling there beads over the two days .
