I'm thinking alot about teaching... I'm dying to teach, but I question WHAT I have to offer that all of these fantastic instructors don't? Who am I? Am I different enough that others will want what I'm offering? Am I good enough? I've been told that I'm a fantastic teacher... but...
BUT. Stupid word.
It's been a pity party kind of day. Can't believe I'm writing about it.
I guess it's on my mind because I'm [supposed to be] in the process of getting my studio cleaned up & set up for teaching one on one. I've been talking about doing it for a long while now... it's just time to DO IT!! I get asked often enough if I teach... I'd love to say YES.
Hey! How about a picture of some sweet acorns??? :o)
Just do it....

Julie you are well known, and your known for your signature acorns! Many would love you to teach your Lampworking skills! You Go Girl!
Ah, the old self doubt seed that gets in your mind and grows and grows - most people have it..,too big (mine!),too small,why me? But I think it's all part of the preparation process for new things that lead us to a considered approach rather than diving in to hard or too fast. I bet all the answers to your questions were positive so let it work for you...
If I lived near you I would jump on the chance to have one on one classes with you! I want to learn to make beautiful works with fire and glass so bad, but I just can not find anyone in my area that teaches. I think you should throw that pity monster to the curve and take on a student, because you are a wonderfully talented person that has knowledge to share.

Thank you, ladies. Yesterday's pity party is over & I'm just going to focus on moving forward!
I like your thinking, Lesley... the hesitation is just giving me time to prepare to be the best teacher I can be.
No local glass shop, Therese? I know of a great one in Atlanta. :o)
That is great Julie, what is the name of the shop?

It's so amazing to me when I see someone I admire so much, someone I know I can never be, feel the same way I do. Goes to show -- we ALL feel this way at some point. Go to the BSBPForum under the "Support" section and check out the post I wrote recently -- it might help.

Thanks so much, Lori. It's in crazy how we mess w/ our own heads? Thanks for pointing out the video link you posted on the BSBP forum, I'm going to check it out.
I believe you have so much to offer. We are all unique.
