Greetings! Glasscraft and Bead Expo is excited to announce that everything is together for our LIVE streaming web broadcast of the International Glass Invitational. The video will be made available throughout the weekend. Details on how to access the web stream can be found later this week on our web site… International Hot Glass Invitational

Streaming of the event will begin at 6:00pm PST, Friday, April 3rd. We will broadcast the night in it’s entirety. Saturday’s broadcast will begin at 5:00pm PST, with our attempt to establish a new world record for the longest hot glass cane pull. We need 250′, but hope to cover a football field. The broadcast will continue until the conclusion of the IGI at 9:30 pm PST.

We will have 3 cameras catching the action and routed through the webstream. Only 1 camera at a time can be routed to the webstream, but our camera crew will be catching all the hot action. We are working with the same crew that has experience covering Ultimate Fighter Championships, International Fight League and World Series of Poker. We expect a great show!!! Please help support this event and the future of this event by subscribing and getting the word out.
