The GAS conference is right around the corner. June 13-17 and it’s in Toledo, OH. You may wonder why Toledo? Well that’s where the Studio Glass movement got its start and for the 50th anniversary it was decided that that’s where the conference would be held. Anybody that’s anybody in the glass world will be at the conference (I sadly will not…I’ve got to be here at my store) and Bullseye in conjunction with Brazee Street Studio are having some get togethers and glass goods times. I really wish I was going to this. Check out what they have to offer and also go to the GAS web site to see what other good times can be had…
