Since 1985, GlassWeekend has brought together the world’s
leading glass artists, collectors, galleries, and museum curators for a
three-day weekend of exhibitions, lectures, hands-on glassmaking, artists,
demonstrations and social events. GlassWeekend ’13, on June 7, 8 & 9, promises
to be among the very best, with many new activities designed to be fun,
inspiring, and informative. Demos by guest artists Beth Lipman, Davide
Salvadore and Hiroshi Yamana are reason enough to make a great show, but combined with Judith Schaechter as the keynote
speaker... makes this a not-to-miss event!
