I really don't know where to put this but I'll just put it in here.

I want to know if there are any lampworkers in the TFP.

If so, do you guys do it for a living, or for a hobby?
Any pics of art/production pieces or your work? (whatever it might be)

I have a serious interest in lampworking and hope to be able to try it one day

You mean like restoring old lamps or designing new ones or making ones out of odd things?

My aunt owns The Shade Tree and she's been doing the lamp thing for many many years. She's got two trusty people who build/restore lamps based off of her design. If you'd like, I'll ask her if she knows any good place to start/books to read-PM me!
