Guest Instructors We are thrilled to have Lori and Troy, owners of Beaches Bead Stores in Ashtabula, OH with us for ONE NIGHT ONLY to teach Beach Glass Drilling - Thursday, 2/18/10 at 7pm $50.00 (includes beach glass and dvd). This class takes you step by step through all of the equipment needed, setting up that equipment and the method developed and used for years to drill thousands of pieces of beach glass.
