Firespinning Workshops in Sac! Sat, September 19, 2009 - 5:27 PM
Silence, Kevin, and I are teaching a couple of workshops at Hot Pot Studios. Come have fun with us!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These one-hour workshops will introduce aspiring firespinners
to the fundamentals of fire spinning, prop manipulation,
and safety. Workshops are designed for the new firespinner who is
interested in building a strong foundation and becoming independent
and confident. Participants can expect lots of one-on-one attention
from the three experienced instructors and the opportunity to spin
some fire. A limited number of practice props will be available, so
participants are encouraged to bring their own fire or practice props.
A prop making workshop may be added upon request.

(double staff, hoop, poi), and Kevin (poi, staff, double staff)
