Hi all,
Please note this is not an official release. I'm sending this because
of the limited time until and space in the workshop. The official
notification will hopefully be out in a few days, I'll forward it then.
Peter Callas will be doing a three day woodfiring workshop Feb,
8,9,and 11th (the kiln cools on the 10th and is opened on the 11th).
The location will be Brevard Community College in Melbourne Florida.
The price will be $175 per person. Space will be limited so hurry if
you are interested. To register or for more information call (407)
632-3721 ext. 33202 or ext. 33200. A small selection of hotels that are
close should also be made available.

Sorry folks, the first thing I heard today when I went in today was
that the dates had been changed. The dates as of now, are the 22,23,25
of Feb. Also I heard rumored that a beach side hotel is offering a
workshop discount. I'll forward the official stats as soon as they are
given to me.

Hi All,
I finally got the official information on the Peter Callas workshop.
Please hurry if you are interested, because space is very limited, and
also time is of the essence. The Kiln is great (IMHO), the beach is
only 10-20 minutes away, and the attractions (Disney/MGM, Universal etc.
) in Orlando are just a skip and a hop. Take a break from winter, the
last week has given us 78-80 F and sunshine :) Hope to see you there.

Regards
