Still riding the wave of the amazing Glass Art Society conference at The Studio of Corning Museum of Glass!
Highlights include guided tour of ‘Tough Stuff’-women in the early US glass movement’ with curator Tami Landis. The whole museum is incredible! Demonstrations every single day were inspiring. Always a blast to see old glass friends & meet new ones! The cherry on top was the insane ‘Glass Fashion Show’ led by the one & only Laura Donafer.
