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.
