Regional Glass Events: Reviews & Upcoming

Treasure in your camera

The old saying that a picture is worth a thousand words is even more true in these days of social media. The Guild wants your photos of glass events. Having a photo makes it so much easier to invite people to participate in an event next year. If you go to a glass event please take some photos and send the best 2 to the marketing team (400 to 600 px or “medium” resolution, about 500 KB, not more than 1MB).

Images from some events this summer:

The July General meeting on Reactions and Inclusions showed a wide range of creative exploration. Members can Log-in and see the meeting video: From the menu: Glass>Education>Reactions…

Both Guild picnics this year had great weather:
