For those who attended the Symposium you should in the next day or two receive
a survey prepared by our Symposium co-chairman Scott Hansen, and newly
elected vice president. Please respond to help us plan for next year. Scott did
this survey last year and many good ideas came out of it, as well as affirming
many things we do. We believe the enormous success of this year’s Symposium
is the broad appeal offered by the subjects and programs offered. So, please
when received fill out and return.

At the Symposium on Saturday morning we had a panel discussion (David Goldstein, John Clayton & Price Prazar) on What are we
collectors about? How should we market Carder Steuben? and What role do we have in the art scene? Karen Ohland of NYC who
works at the Metropolitan Museum took some notes on various ideas that sprung forth, which are summarized as follows:
Items / Issues Raised During Morning Discussion
• List of Museums with Carder Steuben collections/displays added to website (possibly
with links)
• List of Shows where Carder Steuben will be sold added to website
• Possibly with some indication of whether “high end” or “entry level”
• Curriculum information to colleges to incorporate Frederick Carder’s role in the Studio
Art Glass Movement
• Mentorship Program
• Beta Tags broader links – art glass movement, studio glass movement
• Website for verification/ no verification – in process; will have specific link on
website for identification questions
• Google ad words
• Face book presence
• LinkedIn presence
• Placement / Endorsements
• Podcasts
• Video of Frederick Carder’s life & work ; Carder 101 video
• Speakers Bureau
• Links to other collectors clubs (send links to Mark)
• Photos of Carder Steuben Glass being used in the home
• Maybe quick links to Carder Steuben pieces that are of interest to the non-collectors
market (lamps (esp floor lamps), perfumes, strong colors, Art Deco, busts, elegant forms)

First, just to report. We had a very profitable auction last Saturday night for
the Club at the Symposium. Cleared $5,500 for the Club coffers.

Dick Stark of Bethesda responds to drizzling and cleaning as follows:
I wondered about that… I think it’s semantics. Crizzled vs degree of crazing. I
think mild cases of the later can be helped. I’ve seen glass etched by minerals
be corrected.

Then poetic David Goldstein of Naples, FL chimes in
You might say Kim can deal with physical illness (sickness) but not mental illness
(craziness).
I’ve used Kim for years
Finally, Shari Hopper of Paradise & Co. (perfume bottle equipment) of Paradise, CA confirms
Sick glass is actually sick because the formula of the glass was out of balance. It cannot be cured.
Shari Maxson Hopper

Lon Knickerbocker has corrected my statement in the last e-mail about correcting
crazed glass, which can’t be cured. Just re-read the e-mail you sent out, it reads that I said Kim was doing wonderful work on crazed glass. Kim cannot do anything about crazed glass, only water and calcium deposits or what some people refer to as sick glass.

At the Symposium last weekend Lon Knickerbocker spoke to those in attendance
about the great work that Kim Carlisle was doing on cleaning crazed and cloudy
glass. He passed out some of his cards. One or two others spoke about their
satisfactory experiences.

Lo and behold I received the following e-mail today
from Georgi Roland of Willoughby Hills, OH on the same subject. An independent view.
Just wanted you to know and hopefully you can pass this along once
again….I had an old decanter “cleaned” that I had thought was a lost cause
due to crazing. Kim Carlisle & Assoc , 28220 Lamong Rd, Sheridan, IN –
phone 317-758-5767 – his email is: kcarlisl@worldnet.att.net
Received the decanter yesterday and I could not believe how wonderful it looks….like new. I found Mr. Carlisle wonderful to work with and his pricing is most reasonable. I highly recommend him and his talents.
