I am reaching out to provide some information on our 54
<http://pyrex.cmog.org/seminar> th annual Seminar On Glass at The Corning
Museum of Glass, to be held October 16-17, 2015.
This years theme, Pyrex and Material Culture, complements the Museums
exhibit: America <http://www.cmog.org/collection/exhibitions/pyrex> s
Favorite Dish: Celebrating a Century of Pyrex.
The exhibit focuses on personal connections to Pyrex, advertising and its
role in the popularization of Pyrex, designing for the mid-century home, and
the role of women and home economics. All of these offer lenses that
contribute to understanding Pyrex and material culture.

§ J. Ritchie Garrison: Director of the Winterthur Program in American
Material Culture and Department Chair, Material Culture, University of
Delaware
§ Regina Lee Blaszczyk: Author, Imagining Consumers: Design and Innovation

Modern America

This years Seminar will also include a panel discussing the design of
Pyrex, led by Rob Cassetti, Senior Director of Creative Services and
Marketing at The Corning Museum of Glass, a collectors' panel led by Tina
Oldknow, Senior Curator of Modern and Contemporary Glass, as well as a Pyrex
Dealer Fair showcasing public collections of Pyrex.
