PM me and i'll see if i know of anyone in your area. Lessons will go a long way for sure and are always great to make sure if you even enjoy glass.. ya know, anyone could go buy a skateboard thinking they will enjoy it but obv. not everyone does.

Toob dont think you'll be making any money in the portland area for atleast a year id find someone to apprentice to and work for them pullin lattys and making collapsed beads if not youll be using allot of money on glass and oxygen just learning. trust me ive been in the glass game for almost 12 years

sounds like a good approach ive got a friend up there i put a call out too on your behalf to see if he has any open stations and is willing to teach.
What I don't get is.... Why is Portland such a Mecca for blowing? And odd towns like Buffalo NY... Anyone else think it's weird?
PAB - That Dragons Breath shop..the owner quoted a price range for Toros... $900-$3600 for two perc Toros... they also have some worked...which I guess are the 3600 ones lool....SUCKS! I was expecting to drop about 500-600 :|

portland and seattle are the sister citys of glass most of the best artist come from one of those two places i.e Bango jason lee marcellus fro and many others one of the big reason portland is such a mecca is because alchemy glass and northstar are there thats two of the three largest glass makers in basically one town (tigard is about ten minutes out of portland, also have an amazing skatepark)

THIS SUCKS
Last night I had this slide in my virtual shopping basket, I decided to wait a day before I bought it. Today I go to purchase it and its sold! limited addition by CHAZ as well so doesn't look like this opportunity is gonna arise again.
I was attracted to this piece as I've seen FREEK's work before and thought it looked similar (correct me if wrong), looked perfect for snappers. Angled slide as well. The person who bought this is probably gonna read this and laugh, bugger! lol

There is a much bigger difference between a 997 turbo, and a used Civic, than there is between a 500 (which is expensive) and a 3600 dollar bong.
Hell you could buy a used civic for that.
