December 9 Beaverton OR (SW of Portland) 5 pm hosted by Linda Gerrard. The food in the past has been wow and the glass gift exchange can get exciting when people start “stealing”. Contact Linda to check with her on what to bring.

December 10 Seattle WA 11 am hosted by Karen Seymour near the zoo. Let’s talk glass! Show off what you’ve been working on and share ideas. Bring food and something glass-related & wrapped if you want to participate in the optional gift exchange too. Please contact Karen if you plan to attend so we have enough chairs etc.

December 17 Vancouver WA 3 pm hosted by sponsor Melt Art Glass. Bring snacks etc. and celebrate the color that glass gives to our lives during this dark time of year with fellow glass enthusiasts. Please contact Sheri by email or call 360-771-5617 if you plan to attend (and also if your plans change at the last minute).

11 am the first Sunday of April: come to Karen Seymour’s house just west of the Seattle Zoo and talk glass with other artists. It usually runs to about 1:30. Bring a dish that will feed about 8 people. If you want something to drink other than water please bring that too.

Show and tell: We love to see what you’ve been doing or hear what you are planning. Bring your glass questions too — there’s usually quite an accumulated level of experience at the table.

RSVP to Karen so she has an idea of how many are coming — it’s really difficult to get out more chairs etc. after people start arriving.
