Artist Profile - Sandy Thompson Article by Lorna Corso
How did you get started in the world of glass art? I was in my 20's and there was a glass place that opened near where I lived. I walked in and never left.

| St. Patrick's Day Social Wearing their green and big smiles, 55 GAC members gathered for a fun mixer on March 17th. Tables were adorned with colorful St. Paddy’s Day decorations and delicious food. The “Luck of the Irish” was with those who walked away with some wonderful door prize and raffle items. In addition to meeting some new people, we all enjoyed hearing about the glass art items that people brought for “show & tell.” These examples of art being created in our studio and the stories that go with them about lessons learned, this worked, that didn’t, are truly a highlight of our socials. A big thank you to all who shared their creations and stories! |
