ART GLASS FORUM, Our Next Meeting of the Season
Tuesday, November 12, 7PM. What are contemporary glassmakers thinking about, and how can their diverse visions be turned into a cohesive blockbuster exhibition? On November 12, Susie Silbert, the Corning Museum of Glass’s Curator of Modern and Contemporary Glass, will explore those issues for the Art Glass Forum | New York in a lecture titled Learning from New Glass Now. Her talk on November 12 will cover how the curatorial panel (which included experts Aric Chen, Susanne Jøker Johnsen and Beth Lipman) sifted through submissions from more than 1,400 people and how the selections shed light on glass’s past, present and future.
The talk will be preceded by a wine and cheese reception beginning at 6:30 PM.
Annual membership dues are $25 for young professionals under 40, $70 for individuals, $90 for households, and $120 for businesses and organizations (up to three employees or guests may attend each event). Non-members are welcome to attend for $15 per meeting. AGF is a registered not-for-profit organization, so all dues and contributions are tax-deductible. Download the membership form HERE and return it as soon as possible to enjoy another exciting year with the Art Glass Forum | New York.

FIeld Trip: Visit a Spectacular Private Collection in Cambridge, MA.
During our winter hiatus last year, a few of us gathered to see a private glass collection in Cambridge. The owners have agreed to open their home to the club again this November so that more of our members might be able to enjoy seeing it. Here is a brief description offered by the collectors:
Our collection is quite diverse with examples of blown, cast, flameworked, cameo, and slumped glass. One of our favorite artists is Lino Tagliapietra. His Fuji is our most recent purchase. We also love William Morris. He created many works of animals, birds, masks—all of which have a significant archeological feel to them. We have gorgeous cast pieces by Martin Rosol and Steven Weinberg. And we love our pieces by Nancy Callan, Lucy Lyon, Sonia Blomdahl, Deborah Moore, Lisabeth Sterling and Sarah Vaughn. In addition, we collect Loetz. We focus on pieces from around 1900 in the art nouveau style.
Plan to arrive about 10:30 for coffee and they will show us their collection starting at 11:00. There are many restaurants nearby and a few other places that might interest folks in the afternoon. The exact address and other details will be sent to you closer to the date. This is a special treat not to be missed! Unless otherwise noted, meetings are held at: Morse Institute Library

The Dixie Jewels Insulator Club's Fall swap meet, hosted by Tom, Mike and Casey Herron, will be held Saturday, November 16, 2019 from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM in Toccoa, Georgia. The swap will be held at Mitchell Allen Memorial Hall, located at the historic Toccoa Depot and next door to the Currahee Military Museum. The Toccoa Depot has been restored to its original appearance in 1940 and showcases the history of Toccoa and Stephens County, Georgia, along with many artifacts detailing the lives and experiences of the men in the 506th Airborne Infantry Regiment who trained for combat missions at nearby Camp Toccoa, made famous by the hit HBO miniseries, "Band of Brothers". Tours of the museum can be arranged for those interested at minimal cost. Around 15 tables will be available, so please contact Mike Herron before the swap to reserve your sales table. If all those tables are spoken for, plan to bring your own table. There is lots of room in the meeting hall and there will be a great assortment of insulators for sale. Admission is free and there is no charge to set up a sales table. Lunch will be provided and others are asked to bring a covered dish, dessert or drinks to complement the meal. Mark your calendars now for a terrific day of awesome insulators and fellowship in the beautiful mountains of Northeast Georgia.

PM Program: "Contemporary Glass Bead Making"
Presented by Kristina Logan. Kristina has been making glass beads for over 25 years and is recognized internationally for her precisely patterned pieces. In this lecture Kristina will discuss her inspiration and the process she goes through when she creates her unique work. Kristina's work has been collected by The Smithsonian Museum of American Art: Renwick Gallery, Washington DC, The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston MA, The Corning Museum of Glass, Corning NY, and the Musée du Verre de Sars-Poteries, Sars-Poteries, France.
The Corning Museum of Glass writes "...the work of Kristina Logan stands out for its originality, sophistication, and innovation. Logan is an especially talented artist who works with flameworked glass. She makes unique and complex beads in intricate patterns whose sometimes knobby forms recall the remarkable eye beads made in ancient China. Yet Logan's style is purely contemporary."

PM Program: "The Little Glass Factory That Could" Presented by Diane Tobi Author and 20+ year Meriden resident
The Meriden Flint Glass Company. This little glass factory in Meriden, CT has been almost completely overlooked. Many parts of it are still standing & in use, affording a rare look at the remains of an actual 19th century glass factory. Diane will give us the background on its establishment in 1876, and show us examples of their products. Some of their award-winning employees may be familiar names to Victorian glass aficionados, such as Henry Fillebrown, Henry Leighton, James Bergen, Philip Handel,the Niland brothers, and Charles Monroe (Wave Crest). Diane will talk about the role Meriden played in firsts such as a national telephone exchange and glass workers union. There is also a significant connection between Meriden and Massachusetts glass companies. Pairpoint and Mt. Washington received inspiration and personnel from Meriden. Do come to hear all about this and more!. Unless otherwise noted, meetings are held at: Morse Institute Library
