MAG just ended our annual Glass Flakes weekend. Select scholars who are researching and publishing are invited to participate in a network weekend at the Museum. Three members joined by virtual connection (with some technical concerns) and ten in attendance. It was a great two days of fellowship, shared enthusiasm and idea exchange. Great things always come from this dynamic group. One highly visible outcome is the creation of The Glass Flakes Press- a small publishing project that seeks manuscripts that larger publishers would not likely consider due to small sales or narrow topics or ? With three Glass Flakes Press books published several more are on the way.
Other projects here?
Sure...
we ( a group of 4) cross checked the ID of several hundred oil lamps,
a group of three worked on the recent donation of 500 plus EAPG spooners,
a major discussion was held about the work needed to create a manuscript on Spills,
and much more.
It is amazing how much energy can be created when others share you interest and passion!
We now shift gears at MAG to prepare for next weekends American Paperweight Circle and two other days of meetings.... plus the dedication of our Pumpkin Patch!
come join....
