Due to ongoing tornado cleanup, the GLASS event this weekend in Neenah has been moved to Appleton. See further details below.

Bergstrom-Mahler Museum of Glass’ GLASS Arts Festival, Presented by Miron Construction, will be relocated from the Bergstrom-Mahler Museum of Glass grounds to the Fox Cities Exhibition Center in Appleton.

The relocation follows a determination by City of Neenah officials that ongoing tornado cleanup and recovery operations, combined with public safety considerations, make it impossible to safely permit and support the event at its originally planned location and capacity. Although the Museum grounds are ready, cleanup of the parks and city streets is still ongoing. Safety of our community and visitors is the utmost importance.

The GLASS Arts Festival will be relocated at the Fox Cities Exhibition Center, but Bergstrom-Mahler Museum of Glass will remain open to the public on Saturday, and visitors are encouraged to continue supporting the museum by enjoying its exhibits in newly renovated galleries, visit our museum shop and see glassblowing demonstrations in the Gordon Park Glass Studio.

I disappeared for a bit, but was out adventuring, doing fun things, and meeting amazingly wonderful people. Most of you know I was in Scotland for a couple weeks, but then had the outstanding opportunity to teach at the Glass Craft and Bead Expo in Las Vegas. I taught 3 classes a day, had 79 students, and fired over 100 pieces of glass in 3 kilns in 4 days. What a wild ride! Would do it again in a heartbeat ❤️.

Now it's time to get ready for some summer shows. I'll be in Boston early June for a specialty show, but will be back in Wisconsin for the following 3 summer shows:

💜Spring Green Art & Craft Show- June 27 & 28

💚Art at the Park in Appleton- July 25 & 26
