Pacific NW Glass Events, past & future

The past couple of months had 2 Guild-sponsored studio tours and several other shows our members participated in:

Portland’s Open Studios in mid-September

Marvelous Mosaic Fine Art hosted Rachel Dollar, Terry Thomas, Lori LaRue and Theresa Videan at their new Rainier OR location
Evan Burnett’s studio in NW Portland was well worth the stair climb through the interesting Pickle Factory building.

Sondra Radcliffe and her partner were teaching a delighted visitor to cut glass at the time we were there

Richard Glenn was selling his own work, pieces from his glass collection and various supplies needing a new home.

Barbara Kienle hosted Stephanie Johnston. There was quite a diverse range of work between the two of them.

Linda Gerrard has large display space and also shows off her studio.
Carlyne Lynch hosted Rose McBride and Greta Schneider
Mitzi Kugler demonstrated her torchwork and displayed her finished work in her light filled studio

Margaret Eagle hosted Lyn Kennison and Mari Aoki Knight in her studio but no one has a photo!
Please send us photos if you are in or go to a glass event.

Guild sponsored Glass and Decor Studio Tour in Seattle

This was part of Refract, Seattle’s mid-October glass celebration. We had amazingly good weather except for the smoke.

Please send us photos of your glass events!

Having a photo makes it so much easier to invite people to participate in an event next year. If you are part of or 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).

General meetings in 2023

Zoom on the 4th Sunday of most months at 3:30pm. General Meetings topics for the year will be discussed during the January 9th Board meeting.
