You might recall the postabout the cancellation of the G.A.S. Boston conference. In the wake of the G.A.S. conference cancellation, The Society of Arts and Crafts, MIT Glass Lab, APG/NOCA, and Strattman Design have organized “GlassBoston” –
a conference that will be held in Boston and Cambridge this June. GlassBoston includes workshops, lectures, demonstrations, and tours, as well as a nonjuried glass show and sale that will be open to the public. Information (and registration access) is posted on the website of The Society of Arts and Crafts: http://www.societyofcrafts.org/learn/glassboston.asp.
GlassBoston has been designed for emerging, mid-career and established artists and the public interested in glass. Highlights include:
– Lectures by glass and origami artists Erik and Martin Demaine; Professor of Materials Science Michael J. Cima; and an associate from James Carpenter Design Associates.
– A symposium on the use of CAD and rapid prototyping tools and technologies, including artists Tavs Jorgensen and Norwood Viviano.
– Tours of the MIT Media Lab, Center for Bits and Atoms, and the MIT Museum.
– A one-day come-one-come-all glass show and sale, open to all attendees and the public.
– Demonstrations by Rik and Shelley Allen, James Mongrain, Pablo Soto, Mark Petrovic, Hank Adams, Deborah Czeresko, Matthew Szosz, Alexander Rosenburg, Wesley Fleming and others to be announced.
– Tours to studios, museums, galleries and private collections.
GlassBoston attendance is limited to 200, so if interested, you need to sign up soon.
Housing will be available in the MIT dorm New House – single ($68) and double ($88).
