Southern
Flames is sponsoring 2 classes with Jen Geldard. There will be two 2-day sessions offered: January 20 &
21, 2005 (Thursday / Friday) and January 22 & 23, 2005
(Saturday/Sunday). Both class
sessions will cover the same material.
Jen
will be focusing on surface design, including the following:
- Creative solutions – especially when a bead isn't going the way
you would like, how to look at it creatively and fix it by exploring
your options
- Use of enamels and metals
- Organic textures more than organic design – making your bead look
like something more than just glass.
To
see Jen’s beads, check out his website:

There also has recently been a very positive thread about Jen’s
classes and beads on Wet Canvas.
Jen’s
class will cost $185.00 for Southern Flames members in good standing and
$210 for non-members. Members
in good standing will have precedence for class placement in a lottery at
the meeting on Saturday, November 13th, at Beads by Design.
A member is in good standing by being current on dues and not owing
any late fees to the Resource Center.
Lottery
Details
- Registration will begin on November 13, 2004 at
the Southern Flames meeting at Beads by Design with a lottery for
interested Southern Flames members in good standing.
- Each interested member must complete a Jen
Geldard Lottery Form. You
may complete and bring the attached form or additional forms will be
available at the meeting. If
the member is selected in the lottery, he or she will need to provide
a check in the amount of $185 at the meeting to accept the space in
the class.
- There will be eight spots available in each
class session. Once all
sixteen spots are filled, names will continue to be drawn for waiting
list positions. A lottery
participant wishing to accept a position on the waiting list must also
tender a check at the meeting for the full class fee.
Checks for wait-listed participants will not be deposited
unless a class position opens for that person.
In the past, we have had students withdraw due to various
emergencies and have actually placed the last person on the waiting
list in the class.
- If you would like to be included in the lottery
but do not intend to attend the lottery process at beginning of the
November 13th Meeting, you may mail a check payable to Southern Flames
in the amount of $185 along with a completed copy of the attached Jen
Geldard Lottery Form to Southern Flames, , 311 Peachtree
Hills Avenue, Box11A, Atlanta, GA 30305.
Your check must be received by November 12, 2004.
You will get a confirmation that your check and form
has been received and you will be put into the lottery
drawing. If you do not
receive a confirmation, we did not receive your check and
form and you will not be in the lottery.
- Checks from mail-in lottery participants will
be returned if the member is not selected in the lottery, unless the
member indicated he or she would like to be on the waiting list.
In that event, checks will be held but not deposited unless a
class position becomes available.
- If at any time a wait-listed participant would
like to be removed from the waiting list, he or she may notify Kim
Runge and she will return that person’s check and remove them from
the waiting list.
- The check for the class is non-refundable.
If your name is drawn and you cannot attend the class, your
spot will be offered to the next person on the waiting list.
You will be refunded your money if someone can take your spot.
This must go through the Treasurer and the waiting list. You
may not directly sell or give your spot to another individual unless
all wait-listed persons have declined to fill the spot.
- The Jen Geldard Lottery Form includes your
name, address, phone number, email address, preference of class
session, and whether you wish to be placed on the waiting list if your
name is not initially drawn for a spot in the class.
- If you can attend either class, you may
indicate a preference, but could be put in your second choice class to
allow Southern Flames members with less flexible schedules to still
attend a class. As an
example: I say I can attend either session but prefer Sat/Sun. I’m
selected and there is space in Sat/Sun, so I’m put in Sat/Sun.
Later, in the lottery when spaces are only left in Thur/Fri,
someone is selected that can only come Sat/Sun, so I would be moved to
Thur/Fri so that person could attend, too.
If
the class is not full after the lottery…
- Once the lottery is complete, if the classes
are not full, an email will be sent to Southern Flames members giving
them at least one additional week to register for the open spots on a
first come, first placed basis via checks to Kim Runge either in
person or at the address above.
- If the classes are not full after the
additional open registration for members, registration will be opened
to the general glass community via web forums, emails, etc.
If
you have any questions about Jen Geldard’s class, contact Southern
Flames Vice President, Kristy Nijenkamp, at
