  If you find that you are going to be in the US, let me know when and where, and what dates you might be available to teach.  Also, what you would charge and what tools/supplies we would need to have. 
  
  We just brought in Ricky Frank to teach for two different weekends.  I think everyone would love to learn what you're doing and how you're doing it.  Plus, meet a really nice guy, too!

  David,thanks for inviting me as a friend.It is a nice suprise to hear from you.I have to admit that when I saw your transperant enamels go opaque, during my workshop,and I said that I'd never seen that before.Well I bought some enamels home from the US and have had the same experiance. These same Trans enamels work well for cloisonne', though not for Torch Fired Plique a jour.I mention this because I felt very sorry to see all the effort you went to opaqued out. Most trans work well,and I hope your still trying Marcus

  David, thanks for the feedback. I really challenge myself to develop my teaching skills. As an artist, I always wanted to make something for an upcoming show which i could be proud of and feel it was "just a little better, in some way" then anything I had ever made. I now try to do the same as a teacher, making each workshop a little better; I learn a little each time i teach, about enamel, about people, about myself, and about communication. It's been a fascinating new adventure for me. Hopefully, my passion for enamel comes through, as well as my burning desire for each student to feel like "they can do it too!".

  David,

  
  

  This is the information NING sent me- With the bulk uploader on your NING Network, you can add up to 100 photos at a time. To upload photos using the bulk uploader, to the photos page (The Gallery on the Main Page) and click the "ADD PHOTOS" LINK. Then click the camera icon to select which images you would like to upload from your computer. If you want to select multiple photos at a time, just hold down the "Control" or "Command" key on your keyboard and click each photo. Photos you've chosen to upload will display as a list in your bulk uploader. After you add one batch, you can add even more photos to the list with the "Add More" link and remove any using the "x" button to the right of each photo, Once you are ready to upload, click the "Upload" button.

  
  

  On the next page you will be able to edit the "Title", "Description" and "Tags" field for each photo. You can also choose to create a new album for those photos or add them to an existing album. When you are done click "Save" if you've add more information. You can also click "My Photos" at the top of the page to immediately start browsing your newly upload photos.

  
  

  Note from Ning: If you've uploaded these photos using the photo uploader you can create an album from them and embed the slideshow into a group's text box.

  
  

  Note from Trish: I did all this from the Alchemy CD and most all the images came out in the negative - I have thrown my hands up!

  Thank you for joining the web site. As you can see we have an enormous group of talented artists for you to share knowledge and techiniques. We love newbies! When you have a finished piece, we encourage you to hang it up in the Gallery, as we are a web site for all levels of enameling, and we all started out from the beginning.
  
  On our Main Page we have two forums: the left side is for members and the right side is an RSS feed from the Enamel Forum with more questions and answers from other artists.
  
  Please feel free to comment, suggest, blog, post to the forum and enjoy our company.
  
  Best regards,
