Afternoon Program
“American Blown 3-Mold Glass:
Decorative Mid-Market Tableware before the Rise of Pressing”
Ian Simmonds
Member of Westchester Chapter of NAGC
and Glass Researcher
During the early decades of the 20th century, when interest in collecting American antique glass was first beginning to spread, the so-called "blown 3-mold" glass made by Sandwich and other companies was near the top of everyone's want list. The glass has remained popular with collectors and many new facts about it have come to light. Mr. Simmonds will discuss its production and popularity and show us rarities from both public and private collections.

Morning Program
“Vases, Frogs and other Pieces for Displaying Flowers”
Nina King Lavin
Member of Founders Chapter
Glass makes a wonderful container for displaying flowers. Whether it is clear or colored, tall or flat, wide or narrow, glass complements the innate beauty of flowers. Bring in your vases, epergnes, frogs, and other glass flower containers.
Afternoon Program
“Fine Glass from Meriden, Connecticut:
The Meriden Flint Glass Company”
Diane Tobin
Glass Researcher
It might come as a surprise to learn that Meriden, Connecticut was one of the thriving centers of glassmaking in New England. Handel lamps, painted Wave Crest glass, Belle Ware and a glittering avalanche of rich cut glass all were produced there. Much of this glass, including especially the products of the Meriden Flint Glass Company, has received little attention from glass scholars. Ms. Tobin is correcting that lamentable situation and will share her exciting discoveries with us.

AMERICAN MOSAIC SUMMIT
Celebrating SAMA’s 10th Anniversary!
9th Annual SAMA Conference
at The Palmer House Hilton Chicago, IL. SAMA is a non-profit
organization dedicated to educating,
inspiring, and promoting excellence in
fine mosaic art. This year’s show will
this year be at The Smith Museum of
Stained Glass at Chicago’s Navy Pier,
where the exhibition is expected to
attract approximately 80,000 visitors
during the two month run. This is a
different kind of a venue for MAI; it is
not one of the traditional white-walled
gallery spaces that have showcased
mosaic works in the past. This exhibition
will feature our work placed
throughout the museum, presented in
lighted, glass-walled cases.
