[MR] Glass Collecting Symposium in Greensboro

[Carol Mclamb]

Replacements Limited in Greensboro is hosting this seminar on June 11. Details and link listed beloew.  I didn't know to get in contact with the Glass Bead folks, so I thought this was the best way to contact them all at once.  Not sure if it will interest you guys, but it might be fun. It's fairly local, just about an hour away, right off I-85.  If anyone decides to go, let me know.  I have to work but I might be able to get that day off or something.

Previously offered in both West Virginia and North Carolina, the class
has, to date, drawn students from 11 states! The seminar is a fun and
informative overview of glass history, from ancient times to the
present, with a focus on 20th Century American glass. Other topics that
will be covered in the seminar include historical flasks, pressed
glass, art glass, Depression glass, carnival glass, cut glass and much
more. From soda bottles and telephone insulators to elegant etched
tableware, this is the basic introductory course from which to learn
the language, research resources, and beginning elements of glass
collecting. This seminar is great for collectors, dealers, or the
simply curious! The presentation will include an explanation of the
processes for glassmaking and will be interactive and fun-filled, with
hands-on work with dozens of glass types. The cost to attend this
special Replacements event is $25.00 and will include a resource
literature packet and a workbook for charting various glass types. The
event will start at 9:30am and conclude at 3:30pm. There will be a
one-hour break for lunch (not included). This seminar is a great
opportunity to learn about glass, whether your interest is at the
beginner or intermediate level. To reserve a spot, please give one of
