Reply With QuoteWow, Bill. Very nice. Thanks for reminding me how much I love art glass. Too bad Cornell/Corning/Ithica is so hard to get to. I would go.

OT, any body up around the Corning New York area? Next week a
friend of mine will be at the Corning Glass museum for the 60's display. Fritz as seen here in a poster from the sixties. Should be well worth attending if like glass blowing Here's a link to the page

It's as close to alchemy as you can get.....
....without being burned as a witch.
I lived my first 12 years in the Buffalo, NY area and remember going to the Glassworks a few times, in Boy Scouts, and on fieldtrips, etc. To this day I still marvel at beautiful works of glass-art. Those are terrific Bill. They offer a glass blowing class at the local university, but it's expensive, takes a lot of time and dedication and requires actual creative ability. So, let's see.....I'm 0-4 on that one!
I still love cut glassware, the odd shaped massive ashtray, prisms, vases.....most anything big, heavy, and made of pure, clear sand!

I know what you mean , I've gone with him to the school here and watched them at
work... very cool art form.. Here's one of his pieces that just sold a couple of weeks ago at the auction to raise money for the pilchuck glass school in Seattle.. This one sold for 16k and brought a lot more than the opening price for it.
