Hello All,

I hear from AGG (Art Glass Guild) member, Marci Stinton, that the AGG Spring Show on the patio was a veritable "flood" of glass lovers and collectors. She said that the customers were still pouring in as late as 5:00 p.m. with no sign of ebbing. I wasn't able to attend, but judging by the photos of the event, this year's glass guild sale was a huge success. Oh, excuse me...rather, a "Blown-out" success (and, yes, pun intended...you know, "glass...blowing").
 
Just take a look at these displays of some of the art glass that was exhibited at this year's event.

Oh, the beauty of glass...amazingly, just melted, fused, folded, slumped, and blown sand.  Sand, as in silica!  Now that's the kind of science I can relate to.  The science of the chemical makeup of Art Glass.  What a segue...from the chemistry of science to the miracle of Art Glass.  How absolutely, positively MARVELOUS!

There were over 30 participants in this year's AGG Spring Show and Patio Sale, 2012.  Here are just a few of those marvelous "miracle makers".

MARY JANE BAILEY, Dichroic Glass

MICHAEL HERMANN & GINA LUNN, "Nautilus"
