SPRINGTIME IN LAS VEGAS: Skies will most likely be sunny, however, springtime weather in the desert is unpredictable.

All classes and exhibits are held in a convention hall or ballrooms. Temperatures are difficult to control due to open freight doors and pre-programmed air conditioning units, not to mention the kilns heating up! Sometimes it’s too hot and sometimes it’s too cold.
