Cavalieri & Crumb: Part 15

August 5th, 2010 at 04:12pm Joseph Cavalieri

I was honored to have a visit from about 50 members of the Metropolitan Contemporary Glass Group this last Sunday. They’re the oldest continuing studio art glass collectors’ group in the country, and travel around the city and world learning about glass. It was way exciting to show them one of the R. Crumb pieces I am currently producing, because I was able to take the layers apart and show them how each looks separately. There was an audible “ohhhhh” from the group, as I lifted the top layer. (This verbal reaction was a first for me!)

I also had a visit from a student from my class at UrbanGlass, and a friend from when I was art director at Good Housekeeping. Plus a return visit from an artist from South Korea who visited last week. Starting the day with a visit from MCGG, made Saturday definitely the most exciting days at MAD.

A BIG thanks goes out to president of MCGG, Fred Sanders for organizing this event, his wife Susan is the beauty donning the black hat in the photo. Also thanks go out to Associate Curator at MAD, Jennifer Scanlan.
