The Glass Art Society met for its annual conference June 12-15 in Seattle, with workshops and other events before and after. Through the courtesy of a home placement, I was able to stay for free with a manager at Spectrum Glass while I rented a car. I attended a workshop by Fritz Dreisbach at Seattle Glassblowing Studio before the Conference, drove around to visit open studios on Wednesday, attended a charity event involving the Tacoma Museum of Glass, attended sessions, demos, and the tech display during the conference and visited Pilchuck afterward. I followed up with a visit to Victoria BC with my stepmother that included stopping by Starfish Glass Studio.
