Sherlocking in Fairview OR on Wed. May 21st 6:30

In-person and zoom: Margie Reiff is hosting a Sherlocking meeting at her house on Wednesday May 21st at 6:30 pm Pacific time. Sherlocking is glass forensics: figuring out from the result why the glass did that. Bring one of your glass pieces and get feedback from your fellow “Glassies.” Bringing hearty appetizers is also encouraged.

 We will also try to put this on Zoom. Please let Margie know if you are coming. Give Margie a call for her address 503 358-2551. Non-members are welcome!

  • Vendor Fair in Redmond WA (near Seattle)

    Saturday May 11th, 11 am to 3 pm

    Sponsor NW Art Glass, 9003 151st Avenue NE in Redmond WA, has invited the Guild to hold their first Seattle area Vendor Fair in their upstairs classroom (the new ground floor classroom isn’t quite finished). The purpose of a Vendor Fair is to have fun sharing info with other glass artists, raise money for the Guild, give sponsors a way to interact with our members and give members a good deal on the donated items.

    Anyone interested in glass is welcome to attend but if you join the Guild you also get discounts on your silent auction bids and from some vendors and teachers. You are encouraged to bring finger food to share.

    • Silent auction featuring donated items from sponsors and anyone else (the CBS dichro donation just arrived!)
    • Sponsors will be selling things on a space available basis.
    • Members who teach can put out class information and talk to perspective students.
    • Scheduled demos: we already have Gerald McBride demoing his new grinder design, Lael Bennett talking about reactive glass, Stephanie Johnston showing different ways to make silicon molds, and Karen Seymour talking about temperature/texture effects. Check the event listing as we update the demo schedule and assign times.

    Contact Sponsorship to reserve a space or make a donation for the auction.
