Spring has arrived, the flowers are starting to bloom, and at least here in the Pacific Northwest, April showers are in full flow!
Time to crawl out of our caves, and see what else is going on in the world.
One thing that's just around the corner (well, it's not 'til June, but you need to sign up right away) is the annual Glass Art Society (G.A.S.) conference.
Every year the conference brings together hundreds of glass artists, collectors, manufacturers, and glass lovers from all over the world. There are tours, workshops, demonstrations, gallery shows, artist presentations, parties, and lots more.
This year, the 36th Annual Conference, "Glass Gateways: Meet in the Middle" is being held in St. Louis, Missouri June 15-17. There will be the usual array of activities to choose from, including a live auction of work by world-renowned and yet-to-be discovered glass artists.
Registration fees go up after April 6th, but you can still get in for the lowest rate if you act right away.
