Since 2006, East Falls Glassworks has been a creative space for aspiring and accomplished glass artists to work and learn. By visiting our shop and taking a class, renting, or perhaps commissioning custom artwork, you've been a part of building up what is now a vibrant community here in Philly. That's why you're getting this email. To learn first hand about these exciting changes and how you can help.

We’re pleased to announce that East Falls Glassworks is transforming into  <https://click.mlsend.com/link/c/YT0xMzA5MTI0MTk1MjM3NTAwMzY2JmM9aTlkMSZlPTE2Mzk3NjE3JmI9MzAxMzYzNzcyJmQ9ZDVmN3Q0Yw==._9lPzpqlXIi_yjpMDp86MJYMCMQNTerSL-svl4QxtVo> Glass Commons (GC) a mission driven organization and glass making facility. That mission is simple: build community through glass. 

We're doubling down on the progress of the past 15 years and bringing even more glass art and education to the public. And in order to support our expanded mission, GC will open in a new, larger, purpose-built space in April 2020 featuring:

*	More classes in new ways of working with glass (including Neon and Plasma!)
*	Outreach to underserved communities and school groups, including with a renovated mobile studio that we can take on the road
*	Scholarships for for those otherwise unable to take classes
*	Apprenticeships & residencies for emerging artists
*	A more comfortable space for public viewing of the glass making process
*	A gallery featuring work made by local artists
*	and more!

Of course, relocating the studio, rebuilding the furnace, and spreading the word is a huge physical and financial effort and we need help! That's why we're asking for tax-deductible donations from friends like you! With your help, GC will become the premier glassblowing educational center that Philadelphia needs and deserves.
