<h2>2007 Spring Update</h2>
As the weather warms up, the activity at East Falls Glassworks is heating up as well.
The fans are being brought up from the basement and the studio is getting ready for
a fun (and busy) spring and summer.
<p>
<h2>May 12th - Open House / Phil-n-George Benefit Auction</h2>
May 12th will be a great day to visit us at the studio. In addition to our open house,
there are lots of other events going on at the complex that you can enjoy. There are activities
planned from noon till 10:00PM.
<br>
<li><b>Phil-n-George Benefit Auction</b>: Phil Vinson and George-Ann Greth are members of the
Philadelphia glass community and have helped us at East Falls Glassworks many times. Earlier this year,
all their glassblowing tools were stolen out of their car. I'm sure that all glassblowers
out there appreciate how damaging this can be; many of the tools are irreplaceable. To
help them rebuild their collection, we are hosting an auction with 100% of the
proceeds going into a tool replacement fund for Phil and George. The auction will begin
around 7:00PM and should finish before 10:00PM. Any artists who would like to donate work
for the auction are encouraged to contact us to make arrangements, every little bit helps.
<br>
<li><b>Demos - Inside and Out</b>: If the weather cooperates, we will have live glassblowing
demonstrations both inside the studio and outside. Demos will start around noon and wrap-up
around 7:00PM. All visiting glassblowers are welcome to participate in the demonstrations.
<br>
<li><b>Open Studios</b>: We are a part of a large community of artists at Sherman Mills. Many artists
in the complex will be opening their studios to the public on May 12th. It is a great opportunity
to meet very talented artists and craftspeople in their workspaces.
<br>
<li><b>Schuylkill Gallery Show</b>: Our next-door neighbor, the Schuylkill Gallery is hosting their <i>Textures</i>
show. If you would like to attend a demonstration of encaustic painting by Karen Freedman at noon, please
contact the <a href="http://eastfallsglassworks.cmail1.com/.aspx/l/174648/t6td4til/www.schuylkillgallery.com" target="_blank">Schuylkill Gallery</a> directly.
The Schuylkill Gallery will be open from noon till 5:00PM.
<br>
<li><b>Seconds Sale</b>: A table will be set up with lots of East Falls Glassworks glass art at
'bargain basement' prices. These are one-of-a-kinds and items with small flaws.
<p>
<h2>May 6th - Extreme Makeover: Home Edition</h2>
We are not allowed to tell any details, but all glass (and EFG) enthusiasts
will enjoy the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition scheduled to air May 6th. This
show was shot in Levittown, PA and featured a makeover of the Kilgallon house.
We have worked with EMHE in the past and were really excited to get the opportunity
to help out for this episode. ABC's programming schedule is subject to change, so
check your local listings.
<p>
<h2>Class Update</h2>
Classes through August <a href="http://eastfallsglassworks.cmail1.com/.aspx/l/174648/t6td4til/www.eastfallsglass.com/classes.php" target="_blank">have been posted on
the website</a>. Following are some highlights and recent class changes.
<br>
<li><b>Saturday Morning Intermediate</b>: We have an 8-week Intermediate class starting on May 5th. The class
runs from 9:00AM through noon, and will cover techniques of interest to the students. Jon Goldberg will be
teaching.
<br>
<li><b>Monday Evening Intro II</b>: For students who are comfortable with the material covered in the Intro I
class, this 4 week class is the next step. The Monday evening class is scheduled to start May 7th and runs from
7:00PM to 10:00PM.
<br>
<li><b>Sunday Afternoon Fun With Glass</b>: Starting Sunday, May 6th, we will host a special 4 week Fun With Glass.
This class will meet from 1:00PM to 4:00PM and will cover many 'nontraditional' ways of working with glass. The class
will benefit both beginners and students with experience. The class will cover sand casting, incorporating copper into
blown glass, solid glass sculpture and other cool techniques. Owen Pach will be teaching.
<p>
<h2>June - Sherman Mills Group Show</h2>
On, June 2nd, a group show opens at Sherman Mills (the complex where we located). More information about the
event will be posted on the <a href="http://eastfallsglassworks.cmail1.com/.aspx/l/174648/t6td4til/www.shermanmillsarts.org/" target="_blank">Sherman Mills Arts Council</a>
web site. East Falls Glassworks encourages our renters, students or teachers to submit work for this show.
This is the second year of the show; the inaugural event was a huge success. Please contact us for submission
details.
<p>
<h2>Special Commission Work</h2>
Owen Pach, studio director at East Falls Glassworks, has been invited to create two very special award commissions.
Being selected to create these awards is itself an honor, and recognition of Owen's unique vision and stature as a
glass artist.
<br>
<li><b>Florida Gulf Coast Museum</b>: The Florida Gulf Coast Museum commissioned an inaugural award to honor the
dedication and accomplishments of a long term board member. Owen has two pieces at this museum and the recipient
of the award began her glass collection with one his pieces.
<br>
<li><b>Northern Home for Children</b>: Owen was asked to create a special sculpture as an award for the "Partnerships
for the Children Awards Dinner" held by the Northern Home organization. Northern Home provides services and support to
children and families facing extraordinary challenges. Owen created a beautiful symbolic sculpture that features the
representation of an child looking up to an adult for help.
<p>
<h2>We Need Your Help - Spread the Word</h2>
East Falls Glassworks depends on referrals for most of our business. Tell your friends about us; link to us
from your website. Spread the word!
<p>
<p>
Thanks, hope to see you all this spring and summer.
