• April 25 - Cambridge, UK
  The Glass Circle, London, UK - Invitation to join a Group Visit to the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, Wednesday 25th April 2018, 11am-3.30pm
  The Fitzwilliam Museum is well-known to glass lovers thanks to the extraordinary range and quality of the Donald Beves bequest. The museum has recently received the Batchelor bequest, comprising mainly eighteenth-century British and Spanish glass as well as some earlier Dutch and French items. At present, there is the added attraction of a fascinating private collection including glass on loan to the museum. Over the past fifty years, Francesca and Massimo Valsecchi have built up a remarkable collection of European fine and decorative art. Their eclectic collection ranges from Italian Old Masters and Modern British paintings to English Arts and Crafts and European Rococo. Francesca is particularly interested in glass and over the years has collected works by Louis Comfort Tiffany, Emile Gallé, Daum, Loetz, and Venini (including pieces designed by Italian architect, Carlo Scarpa). The glass and other objects are displayed throughout the Museum to create intriguing and witty juxtapositions and ‘conversations’, just as the works were seen in the Valsecchis’ London home. They can be identified in the galleries by their specially designed labels.
  After meeting for refreshments, the group will divide in two. Half will follow Helen Ritchie, Research Assistant in the Applied Arts Department, for a ‘glass tour’ of the museum, while the rest will go to the Study Room with Dr Victoria Avery, Keeper of Applied Arts, for a handling session of Batchelor collection items. Lunch can be bought independently in the museum café or nearby. In the afternoon, the groups will swap and we will re-convene for tea at about 3.15pm.
  NB Transport and lunch are not included; details of suggested trains and park and ride (to the museum’s door) will be sent in due course to those attending. Cost for the day, to cover tea/coffee, biscuits am and pm, and a donation to the museum: £12. Payment can be made in advance to our Treasurer, Laurie Maxwell by cheque, or online using the reference of your surname and ‘Fitz’. Please notify us by email if you wish to pay this way.

• May 16-19 - Murano, Vemice, Italy
  GLASS ART SOCIETY SELECTS MURANO, ITALY AS THE HOST CITY OF THE 2018 GAS CONFERENCE
  The Glass Art Society (GAS) is pleased to announce its selection of Murano, Italy as the host city of the 47th annual conference. From May 16 – 19, 2018, attendees will partake in highly anticipated GAS conference programs including glass demonstrations and lectures on inspiring glass topics, and they will also enjoy special programming unique to Murano while surrounded by the beauty of the region of Venice.
  The current Italian Steering Committee is comprised of artists and community art supporters Cesare Toffolo, Lucio Bubacco, Davide Salvadore, Marina Tagliapietra, Roberto Donà, Adriano Berengo, the Consorzio Promovetro Murano, and is led by glass maestro Lino Tagliapietra. “I am excited to have GAS in my native city of Murano, as it is a symbol of union between the two places that have allowed me to become the glassblower I am today,” said Tagliapietra. “This conference will be a wonderful and historical event.”
  GAS selected Murano, in part, for the prominent place the region has had in the history of glass art worldwide. There is also a strong connection between artists in Murano and the glass community in the United States. Additionally, Murano has been the highest response from GAS members when asked where they would most like a future GAS conference to be held. “Every year we survey our members on their interests and they have been consistent in expressing their desire to travel to Murano and Venice for a future conference as their top destination outside of the United States,” said Pamela Koss, executive director of the Glass Art Society. “We are elated to invite our members from around the world to meet in Murano and enjoy a truly special conference in an iconic and significant place for glass art.” The 2018 GAS conference is sponsored in part by the Berengo Foundation and the artists of the Italian Steering Committee.
  Murano/Venice will be the first time the Glass Art Society has taken its annual conference outside of the United States since 2005 when the conference travelled to Adelaide, Australia.

Those of you attending are invited and strongly encouraged to bring a piece you think is a real beauty and one that is a beast in some way – either it’s ugly, your spouse bought it and you didn’t like it, or perhaps you paid too much. You are encouraged to send a list to Sherry Cyza (Find her info on our board members’ list on the website), Display Room Coordinator, so she may organize her thoughts for the display room. Those of you bringing the items might give a little synopsis of why they are beauty and the beast. Other seminars or presentations will be given by Don and Barb Chamberlain and the banquet presentation will be by Carl and Eunice Booker.
