Glasslanders who AIN’T cool…

February 25, 2009 by  

…missed a terrific Oregon Glass Guild meeting tonight with veteran glassist Roger Thomas. The guy gives great slideshow and incidentally makes pretty gorgeous glass. The presentation he gave pretty much amounted to a history of glass panel work in the US for the last 30-40 years.

See what you miss if you’re not going to OGG meetings regularly? The Guild is growing and getting more interesting all the time. It’s probably the best time a glassist can have for $2.92.*

And next month promises more of the same: Glass lathe virtuoso Andy Paiko–the guy who was on TV not too long ago–will be strutting his working glass spinning wheel, seismograph, chairs and other cool stuff for OGG. The meeting will be held at the Museum of Contemporary Craft in downtown Portland, doubling your opportunity to see neat craft.

What?!? You aren’t a member? What are you waiting for? Fill out this form, write OGG a check for thirty-five bucks and send it in!!

*Guild membership dues are $35 per year so that would make this $2.92 per great meeting…assuming you don’t count all the other events and stuff

    Hey Cynthia!

    Well, if I lived in your area, I would definitely join the guild….and I’d probably have even less money living so close to Bullseye!!! I checked out the guild’s website and just marvel at the abilities…great stuff.

    Fortunately, we have some great glass organizations here and I am happy to be part of the Glass Artist Fellowship (http://glassartistsfellowship.com/) out of Denver and Glass Artists of the Pikes Peak (http://www.gappr.org/) region here in Colorado Springs. Both have talented members that inspire me and provide wonderful topics at their meetings.

    Hope it’s ok to post links to the glass orgs in my area…if not, I imagine you can edit this?

    Thanks again for sharing the information about the OGG, I enjoy reading about what other glass artists and organizations are doing.

    Kathleen

    yet another reason to wish I lived in Portland.
