Letter from the GAS President<br />
The first GAS conference was held April 5-7, 1971 at Penland, with the<br />
Coordinating Chairmen being Mark Peiser, Billy Bernstein, and Fritz Dreisbach<br />
according to the archives at Penland. The second one was also held at Penland<br />
based on the success of the first one. What a grand idea these individuals had<br />
in starting this organization based on the ideals of free exchange of information<br />
and promotion of the glass arts!<br />
This is a milestone in our history considering we have had our conferences<br />
in 28 locations, five of them international sites. GAS is proud to present our<br />
40th Annual Conference in Louisville, Kentucky. Louisville is not an old glass<br />
community excepting its stained glass history, but it has an enthusiastic one.<br />
GAS has a mission to reach out to different glass communities and to foster<br />
them by bringing our conferences in partnership with their communities<br />
to showcase, network, and expand their relationships worldwide. I have<br />
affection for Louisville, the city and its culture, as well as its growing glass<br />
community, and I feel you will too if you join us for the excellent programming<br />
we are offering.<br />
We are honored to announce our Lifetime Achievement and Membership<br />
Awards at this time. Our Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient is Mark Peiser,<br />
one of the founding fathers, who is a humble, restless artist who has mastered<br />
many techniques in his long career and is still doing so in his quiet ways.<br />
An artist/scientist who will spend years in research & development before<br />
executing a new body of work, Mark deserves this award at this time and<br />
place and we congratulate him. Tom Philabaum is our Lifetime Membership<br />
Award Recipient and he has been an outstanding Board Member of GAS<br />
as well as a Site Coordinator for Tucson twice, and is working on the 2011<br />
conference again. We congratulate Tom for his award and appreciate his<br />
tireless efforts and amazing energy.<br />
As you look through this brochure, you will see a very interesting mix of<br />
lectures, demonstrations, panel discussions, tours and other events which<br />
will surely please. Fritz Dreisbach’s lecture on the early beginnings of GAS,<br />
demonstrations by Lino Tagliapietra, and the Keynote Lecture by Bill Samuels,<br />
President of Maker’s Mark are just some of the highlights. The Closing Night<br />
Party at the Muhammad Ali Center promises to provide a scenic view and<br />
a unique and inspirational venue. We hope to see you t<strong>here</strong> in June!<br />
Thanks,<br />
Letter from the Conference Co-Chairs<br />
Ingenious Possibilities – the theme of the 2010 <strong>Glass</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Society</strong><br />
conference is a term representative of the qualities of Louisville Kentucky<br />
and its growing glass community. Though it has only become a destination<br />
for contemporary glass art in the last several years, Louisville’s historical<br />
involvement with glass, coupled with its flourishing contemporary glass art<br />
scene make it the perfect place for the 40th annual International <strong>Glass</strong> <strong>Art</strong><br />
<strong>Society</strong> Conference.<br />
Louisville is not only the birthplace of chewing gum, the cheeseburger,<br />
and “The Champ”, Muhammad Ali; it is also the place w<strong>here</strong> Thomas<br />
Edison’s revolutionary invention, the light bulb, was first displayed publicly.<br />
Architectural <strong>Glass</strong> <strong>Art</strong>, located in Louisville is the oldest continuously<br />
operating glass business in America, and at nearby Centre College, Stephen<br />
Rolfe Powell has been fostering the contemporary studio glass art movement<br />
in Kentucky for 25 years. The Louisville glass community recognizes its roots<br />
in the region’s rich history with glass.<br />
Currently, Louisville’s downtown district showcases three large, comprehensive<br />
glass studios which will be the venues for the 2010 GAS conference<br />
demonstrations. <strong>Glass</strong>works, The University of Louisville’s Cressman Center<br />
for Visual <strong>Art</strong>s, and Flame Run <strong>Glass</strong> Gallery and Studio, are all recently built,<br />
state of the art facilities that provide artists, students, and the public with the<br />
opportunity to pursue glass in any manner they choose. We think you’ll be<br />
pleased to find that not only are the majority of the conference venues within<br />
walking distance of one another, but some of Louisville’s best eating, scenery,<br />
and nightlife are just a short walk or a long stumble away.<br />
Louisville’s past has been built upon ingenuity. Its future is shaped by<br />
possibility. While you are <strong>here</strong>, you can sample the many attractions Louisville<br />
and the surrounding areas have to offer. From Bourbon tasting and horse<br />
trading to contemporary art and skate parks, you’ll find Louisville’s blend<br />
of southern hospitality and metropolitan progressivism to be intriguing and<br />
satisfying. With so many recent developments in glass art, it’s easy to see<br />
that Louisville’s contemporary glass scene is rich in resources and ready to<br />
share. During the conference, you can do the sharing easily on a bicycle.<br />
For the 2010 GAS conference, we hope that all of you will attend, many of<br />
you will return, and some of you will stay.<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Shane<br />
Merrily Orsini, Ché Rhodes, J. Page von Roenn, Brook Forrest White, Jr.<br />

* ATTENTION DEMO ATTENDEES - Lino Tagliapietra Demo Only<br />
As with every GAS conference hosted in a new location, each presents its own individual systems. The Lino Tagliapietra demo venue is<br />
limited in viewing attendance. The venue has a maximum capacity of attendees enforced by local fire codes. We will not be able to allow<br />
any more than those limits into the demo venue. Lino will perform two demonstrations on Saturday morning. You will have the opportunity<br />
to wait in line and will be given a number. You must stay in line to keep your place – anyone waiting past the maximum number per<br />
time slot will be alerted that they need to wait for the next demo. (Tickets MAY NOT be picked up ahead of time, they will only be<br />
handed out prior to the demo time at the Cressman Center.) Tickets available at 7 am, Saturday morning. Once the first demo<br />
5<br />
is over, it will be completely cleared out so that another group may be let in to view the second demo.

Opening Ceremony, Reception,<br />
and Keynote Speaker Bill Samuels<br />
Marriott Ballroom V & VI, Thursday, June 10, 1:30 - 4:45 pm<br />
followed by the Opening Reception 5 - 7 pm<br />
Join GAS when we welcome participants and give tribute<br />
to our Lifetime Achievement Award winner, Mark Peiser and<br />
Lifetime Membership honoree, Tom Philabaum. Following their<br />
lectures, our Keynote Speaker Bill Samuels will address the<br />
crowd. Nothing says Kentucky like bourbon and Bill Samuels<br />
is President of Maker’s Mark Bourbon.<br />
The Samuels family claims the title of oldest bourbon<br />
family still going strong. Prior to 1840 the Samuels family did<br />
not produce bourbon commercially. It wasn’t until T.W. Samuels<br />
(grandson to Robert Samuels who created the “secret” family<br />
recipe) came along and constructed a distillery at Samuels<br />
Depot, Kentucky that the family made a business of bourbon.<br />
In 1943, after a break during Prohibition, Bill Samuels Sr.<br />
burned that famous family recipe. Bill Sr. wanted to create a<br />
bourbon without the bitterness, and so he did: Maker’s Mark.<br />

is a great opportunity to present your products or program to a target market that<br />
members will refer to all year. Used year-round by GAS members, the GAS Online<br />
Directory and Resource Guide also features a collection of advertisements from<br />
artists, museums, galleries, schools, manufacturers and suppliers of glass-related<br />
goods and services from around the world. The 2010 version of the directory will<br />
feature full color advertisements for all advertisers (previously ads were restricted<br />
to black and white only), as well as it will be interactive and visitors to the online directory will have the<br />
opportunity to click on your ads and be brought to your website via a link. Even if you do not attend the<br />
GAS conference, you are still able to advertise in the directory. For ad rates and specifications, or to make<br />
ad reservations, please contact the GAS office, or check the GAS website at www.glassart.org.<br />
Deadline: April 30, 2010: Digital art (emailed in PDF or JPEG format) for Resource Guide ad and full payment<br />

Beyond Broken Windows: Baseball in <strong>Glass</strong><br />

that baseball and glass don’t play well together. Miller’s<br />

could swat a home run with. Darlington’s playful takes on<br />
the iconic elements of America’s pastime offer a fresh, fun<br />
perspective on the sport. Don’t miss this double play by<br />
two old glass-blowing buddies who want to take you out<br />
to the ballgame. From the Speed <strong>Art</strong> Museum, historical<br />
whiskey bottles have been selected from the Robinson<br />
Brown Collection. These historical bottles are coupled<br />
with contemporary art glass bottles.<br />

Bottles and Bourbon: Then and Now<br />
For over one hundred years, glass has been the choice material<br />
to bottle spirits. <strong>Glass</strong>’ ability to provide an uncontaminated<br />
environment is obviously important in protecting the precious<br />
liquor. As well, its transparency reveals the liquor’s character.

This class is intended for those with some experience<br />
blowing glass to break out of the functional mode and start<br />
seeing glass in 3-dimensions. This class will deal with<br />
everything from closed forms and blow punties to inside<br />
sculpting with oxy/propane torches. Issues of heating, turning,<br />
carrying more glass and preparing the proper shaped<br />
bubble for the final outcome will be constant conversation<br />
throughout the class. A love for experimentation and some<br />
glass experience required. Slate Grove has exhibited work in<br />
Seattle, WA; Chicago, IL; Toronto, Ontario, Canada; New York,<br />
NY; Cleveland, OH; and Louisville, KY and is currently the<br />

This class is designed to provide a solid base from<br />
which a students work can progress. With points, jacks, and<br />
diamond shears, students of all levels will experiment with<br />
borsilicate tubing. The main focus will be our approach to the<br />
material. shape, scale, and proportion will pass through a<br />
technical “strainer” in an effort to create work of varied scale<br />
and difficulty. Matt Eskuche teaches classes at many schools<br />
and studios around the country and exhibits his glass<br />
sculpture with Habatat Galleries in Chicago. His work can be<br />

In this intermediate to advanced class students will be<br />
encouraged to illustrate their lives in glass. We will draw<br />
from other interests and parts of our lives besides art and<br />
glass to influence our ideas and concepts. Technically, this<br />
class will explore the logic and physics of glassmaking.<br />
We will not be making vessels but we will use the bubble<br />
sculpturally. This class will also cover solid and core<br />
sculpting, bit work, common and special situation punties,<br />
and garage work. We will learn how to draw and dissect<br />
objects in order to be able to make parts and assemble<br />
pieces into the final object. <strong>Glass</strong> can be anything and that<br />
is just what we will make.<br />
