**Need Help Finding Directions Please...** Posted: 11/3/2006 4:03:08 PM

Hi I am 23 years old. I live in Rockland county NY, about 25 min from NYC. I am a full time student for engineering but I want to just do glass. Ive been working in my basement for a year now on a Cheetah I love the torch and I don't have a kiln so I make small marbles. I want to get into this as a profession but no one around here does it. I am willing to pick up my stuff and leave for a good apprenticeship. I was thinking of going to Salem Community college for Scientific glassblowing but I don't know if thats a very strong field. I just want to be happy and blowing glass someone please give me some advice or what I should do. im in love with glass.

Thanks,
Chris
