Conference Details Conference Events Friday, June 27th SGAA Golf Outing: $75 includes green fees, transportation and Oakland Conference Golf Shirt. Join Jerome Durr for the annual SGAA Golf Outing.. S.A. Bendheim West Open House: Manuel DeRosa will be offering glass specials and lower shipping mini- mums just for SGAA Members. Now is the time to hand select from the very special glass offered by Bendheim West. Rick Hoover: Stained Glass Meets the Hippies. How the counter-cultural revolution impacted stained glass and the Stained Glass Association of America. Far Out, Man! Panel Discussion: West Coast Trends . Rick Hoover will moderate a panel of artists whose work illustrates this very important movement. Dan Fenton, Peter Mollica, Arthur Stern and Dick Weiss will present their work from yesterday and today illustrating the changes and future direction of their art. 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. Architects Reception: The Stained Glass Association of America is an AIA CES Provider. 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. Father Tom Lucas: Bringing Shanghai Cathedral Back to Light: An Experiment in Cross-Cultural Iconography. Fr. 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. His address at the SGAA Awards Dinner will sketch the unique challenges and opportunities that are part of his most recent design consultation, a collaboration with Chinese artist Wo Ye, of 3,000 square feet of new glass for Shanghai’s St. Ignatius Cathedral. Monday, June 30th Limit: 26 Persons Tour Fee: $185 Gordon Huether & Napa Valley Wine: Join us for a day-long limousine excursion into the Napa Valley. First stop will be to visit the studio of artist Gordon Huether. His many installations are an inspiration for artists everywhere to reach beyond conventional limitations. Then it is off to the Artesa Winery to view works by Gordon Huether and our first wine tasting. Next is lunch at the Peju Winery. Stained glass, sculpture gardens and wine what a wonderful combination! The last stop will be St. Clement for a wine and cheese tasting. The original 1878 cellar was made from local rock . The goal of St. Clem- ent Vineyards has been to produce small quantities of noble wines in the tradition of the classic European wine estate.

Mail to: SGAA Headquarters, 10009 E. 62 nd Street, Raytown, MO 64113 Fax to: 816.737.2801 St. Luke’s Episcopal Church St. Luke’s was founded in 1868 and is one of the oldest parishes in the Diocese of California. The orig- inal church was completely destroyed in the 1906 earthquake. The current structure was designed by architect Benjamin Geer McDougal. Among other artists, we will enjoy stained glass by Heaton, Butler & Bayne.
Masonic Temple Auditorium Mural Window This 48' x 45' endomosaic window by Emile Norm was first written about in the Summer 1959 issue of The Stained Glass Quarterly. The mosaic consists of powders, granules, chips and tesserae of colored glass plus other materials encased inside a plastic panel three-fourths inch in thickness.
Grace Cathedral Episcopal Church Modeled after Notre Dame, this church is a treas- ury of art and artists. Stained glass by Connick, Willet, Loire and Mark Adams is only the beginning. Labyrinths, murals, the Great Stairs, bronze doors, wrought iron gates — we will be spending extra time here.
St. Ignatius Catholic Church Often referred to as Jesuit Baroque, architect Charles J.I. Devlin drew inspiration from the Spanish and Italian Baroque and the works of Christopher Wren. One stained glass window was featured on the front cover of this year’s Sourcebook. Be sure to visit the Stations of the Cross, located above the entrances to the side chapels. These are oil paintings by Pietro Ridolfi of Rome.
Cathedral of St. Mary of the Assumption In the Spring 1983 issue of The Stained Glass Quarterly, Crosby Willet describes the plan for the Cathedral as square rather than the traditional Latin Cross. Thirty feet above the main worship area, sup- ported on massive concrete piers, are four equal hyperbolic parabolas that form a cupola 120 feet square. The four sides are pierced with a single, slen- der pencil of light nearly 170 feet from the floor with arms 60 feet long. Dalle de Verre windows were designed by Gyorgy Kepes, Professor of Visual Arts at M.I.T., and fabricated by Willet Studios.
