The Third Annual American Glass Guild Conference will be held at The
Crowne Plaza Hotel in Cherry Hill, NJ, near Historic Philadelphia from
August 1-5, 2008. This year's Conference is well balanced between
the Creative Process, Conservation and the History of Stained Glass.
There will also be seminars on Techniques and Good Business Practices.
Philadelphia is steeped in history and tradition. In 1646, the first
church is built in the city. In 1776, the Declaration of Independence
is read from the Observatory at the State House Yard. Philadelphia
has long been a center of learning and culture. With numerous
museums, universities, beautiful churches and great restaurants,
Philadelphia is a great location for the 3rd AGG Conference.
The international contingent of presenters includes Nicola Gordon
Bowe, Tom Kupper, David Wilde and Geoffrey Wallace. Other notable
presenters include: Rowan LeCompte, Robert Pinart, Charlie Lawrence,
Gene Mallard, Ellen Miret, Lindsey Parrott, Diane Wright, Bob Jaeger,
Lance Kasparian and Judith Schaechter to name a few. There will be
sessions discussing the life and work of Harry Clarke, the Rose window
from Lincoln Cathedral, estimating stained glass projects, lime putty
mortars, proper structure and support, and the design journeys of many
modern artists.
A highlight of last year's conference, the spirited auction returns
with proceeds funding the Jim Whitney Memorial Scholarship Fund and
AGG education programs. The conference will be preceded by five
workshops to include: computer design; the creative process; painting
techniques and structure & support. Two days of walking and bus tours
including trips to Center City Philadelphia and Bryn Athyn Cathedral
will follow the three days of presentations at the Conference Hotel.
We will have the first Show of Member's Work at the 2008 Conference.
You WILL want to be there. We look forward to meeting more members of
the Forum. Exchange of information between members is highly
encouraged through round table discussions and informal conversations.
You will learn as much from your peers as you will from the talented
speakers. Visit the website http://www.americanglassguild.org for all
the details and registration information, which is downloadable in PDF
format. Members get a discount, so join or renew with the AGG while at
the website.
