Smithsonian Craft Show, April 24 - 27, 2025 at the National Building Museum
Creating simple shapes is not simple at all; in fact, it is a profound journey of creativity and ingenuity. The artisans showcased at the Smithsonian Craft Show invite us to witness how they breathe life into basic forms, transforming them into extraordinary pieces of art that captivate the imagination. Each curve, line, and angle tells a story, reflecting not just the skill of the creator but also their innovative approaches.
Join us in celebrating this remarkable intersection of creativity and craftsmanship, and let your curiosity lead you to support the Smithsonian Women’s Committee in its mission to raise funds to support the Smithsonian.

On May 5th all are welcome to Show and Tell about their Diamond Optic and Diamond Quilted stretch glass. Fenton and Northwood both used diamond shapes in their molds. We would love to see as many different 'diamond' pieces as possible.
The discussion begins promptly at 8pm Eastern time via a Zoom meeting. As always, you're welcome to share any pieces you'd like identified, or exciting recent finds. Attached are the March and May announcements in PDF and Word (editable) formats. The Zoom invitations for the discussions are also attached.
A photo album picturing more examples will be posted on our website stretchglasssociety.org a week or so prior to each discussion.

National Depression Glass Association
Unfortunately, I have to report that our July 2025 convention and show scheduled for Springfield IL. has been canceled for this year due to the show chair being ill. We wish Brenda the very best and hope that she has a speedy recovery.
The show chair is a critical position and does a lot of interfacing with dealers, the facility, vendors, publicity, working budget issues, etc., as such, we can’t quickly find a replacement in time for this year. But make plans for 2026!

Early American Pattern Glass Society Annual Meeting
A Day (or Two, or Three) at the Museum of American Glass in West Virginia
The 2025 EAPGS Annual Meeting will be held July 13-15 (Sunday-Tuesday) at the Bridgeport Conference Center in Bridgeport, West Virginia (evening dinners and meetings) and at the Museum of American Glass in Weston, West Virginia (daytime activities). The two locations are an easy 25 mile distance/ 30 minute drive down I-79.
The daytime activities at the museum will include volunteer work and glass sales – lots and lots of EAPG, both from the museum store’s existing stock and also from collection donations that will be offered at low museum prices. All proceeds from the sales of the donated glass will go to the museum and Tom Felt has assured me that prices will be kept “low”. They can always use the cash and they definitely need to free up space in their storage areas. At the museum, because of a limited amount of space, lunches will be on your own. We will have a list of restaurants in the area that serve lunch.
In addition to lots of glass sales at the Museum, we will also have member sales after dinner on Sunday night, the annual business meeting on Monday night, and a dedicated evening of “Show and Tell” on Tuesday evening. Meals are being planned and from what the conference center has offered us as options, we will have several delectable choices each evening. Each meal will have three entrees, two vegetables, and two starches, as well as salad and dessert.
Hotel accommodations will be at the Wingate Hotel, Bridgeport, West Virginia, which is connected to the Conference Center. They have offered us a very reasonable rate of $85.00 per night plus tax and that rate is good from Saturday, July 12 to Wednesday, July 16. Breakfast is included. A limited number of rooms have been set aside. To obtain the special room rate mention Early American Pattern Glass Society or EAPGS
