Oh, I didn't know you could take a workshop to learn how to build and shoot fireworks! But I guess that makes sense, as you would need to learn somewhere to figure out how to do it safely, without blowing up your hands haha!
Sounds like you're quite the fire starter:) Love that you take time to make the shells look pretty before they go kaboom!
A very cool hobbie, Terrie:)
Every summer, Vancouver (where I live) hosts the Celebration of Light (formerly Symphony of Fire) which is the longest running offshore fireworks competition in the world.
Three different countries compete over 3 nights, and each fireworks display is synchronized to music. It's awesome.
