At the Stretch Glass Convention the club features a "club display" where members loan special pieces of stretch glass around a general theme. This year, the theme was "Boudoir Items and Associated Pieces." Colognes, perfumes, puff boxes, bud vases, tumble-ups (individual pitchers and tumblers), smoking items, and similar items were arranged in attractive groupings! |
Scott Fenton, National Sales Director for the Fenton Art Glass Company, gave an interesting talk on Fenton's recent company changes and plans for the future. |
