Keynote Speaker David Ruth: A Journey Through Glass into Light . Interested in the brightness, purity and col- ored shadows of stained glass, David Ruth experimented with molten glass to bring those qualities to his cast panels and sculpture. In many ways, his path has been a re-invention of the technology of glassmaking with a contemporary view toward the sculptural and architectural possibilities that glass has to offer in the hands of a modern artist. Saturday, June 28th Stained Glass Tour: Join us as we tour a wide variety of San Francisco’s glass installations, including St. Luke’s Church, Masonic Memorial Temple, Grace Cathedral, St. Ignatius Church and St. Mary’s Church.

Each conference, we invite architects to view our Accredited Presentation Boards, Stained Glass Exhibit and earn points by viewing our CES Presen- tation. Barbara Derix: What Is Contemporary Art Glass? With both architects and artists in mind, Barbara Derix will explore the question “Is what we call contemporary art glass a matter of design or technique?” Sunday, June 29th Cappy Thompson: Changing Scales in Painted Glass From Vessel Walls to Curtain Walls. Beginning with a brief history of Cappy’s work in stained glass and enameled vessels, this presentation will chronicle the process of scal- ing up from small objects to architectural-scale installations. How-to topics include grisaille painting process, firing enamels on float glass, laminating techniques and working with fabricators. Paul Marioni: Get the Lead Out. At first, I tried to work with the lead line as an integral part of the design. I didn't know there was any other way until I figured out a way to eliminate it. Once that happened, I was liberated and could work with glass any way I wanted. I could put my vision into reality. David Winterich & Dorothy Lenehan: Who Wants to Work With an Artist? Artist-owned glass studios can be chal- lenged artistically and financially when working with an independent artist. This lecture presents the issues of artistic collaboration in architectural glass by examining the work of Daniel Winterich and the fabrication of his work by Dorothy Lenehan of Lenehan Architectural Glass.

Thomas Lucas S.J., Ph.D., Professor of Art and Design at the University of San Francisco, has a portfolio of liturgical design and stained glass work that spans three continents.

  • By Dean Six from Fiery Orb to Art Glass
    DNR Artist David Houser of Moatsville creates By Dean Six sun catchers using glass made at the Wissmach factory in Paden City. © Dean SixWV ong ago, the glass industry in West Virginia ceased to boast about huge factories that employed 2,500-plus people. Whereas more than 450 glass factories operated in the state over a period of 200 years, today only four remain. A few decades ago, appealing brochures touted a tour of pottery and glass factories strung along the Ohio River and across northwestern West Virginia. Many vacationing families in station wagons used these brochures like pirates’ maps to discover glass treasures along specified routes. Yet today, due to a number of factors, includ- ing the growing use of plastic and the increasing cost of natural gas, almost all of the big glass factories have closed their doors. They largely leave a legacy of memories in their communities, as well as distinctive products sought by collectors. Nonetheless, the large-scale production of hot glass is still happening in West Virginia, and exquisite products are still being made. This article explores three companies still making tableware, giftware, and sheet glass in the Mountain State. A fourth com- pany, Marble King of Paden City, rolls out close to a million marbles a day and was featured in Wonderful West Virginia earlier this year (See “Mad for Marbles,” February 2013).

Glassmakers work in multiple Since 1922, the town of Milton in Cabell County has been 16-member “shops” throughout the factory, with each shop home to Blenko Glass Company.
