Dear All

    I am in need of something interesting to do for a week or two at the
    end of March this year as I would rather be out of England (and
    certainly out of London) when my ex girlfriend ties the knot with her
    tennis coach. 

    Last year I managed to run away to Turkey to learn to blow glass
    (www.glassfurnace.org, highly recommended). I usually spend my
    holidays silversmithing in Kent, which this year resulted in a lovely
    set of candlesticks over Christmas and a neat, cheap tool to coat
    complex soldering operations with Pripps (I'll post the details on
    this group when I scan in some sketches). 

    However, I now seem out of nifty ideas with W Day closing fast and
    wondered if any of you fine people had suggestions on learning
    opportunities towards the end of March that will allow me to improve
    my craftsmanship and hopefully come away with an amusing story or
    two. I am a competent silversmith, an OK woodworker, a reasonable
    leatherworker, a novice glassblower and a fast learner. Anything
    which increases my abilities or range, is sufficiently hard work to
    be distracting and populated with interesting people would be perfect. 

Regards
