This is an effort to keep the art of glassblowing "alive." As this dying art is laid victim to machine-blown glass, this is an attempt to preserve the DNA of current glassblowers in the case of a glasstastrophe. To participate please send 1 clear, vacuum-sealed "sample"- an ornament will do, labeled and signed to the below address. There are a few rules: 1)Ornament must be "blown" by the glassblower, please no assistant-blown ornaments. 2)"Ornament" must include a working "hook" or hanging mechanism. 3)"Ornament" must be between 2" x 2" x 2" to 4" x 4" x 4." No larger. No smaller. 4) Artist must sign ornament with engraver/diamond pen. 5) Must be vacuum sealed. (in order to prevent DNA contamination) 6)Include on Label: Full Name (first & last), D.O.B.,Date blown, years & months working in glass, contact information (e-mail, phone, mailing address) 7)Broken glass will not be accepted.
