Symposium–Unexpected Color: A Journey Through Glass – Amy Simon Hopwood

Amy Simon Hopwood walked us through the beautifully curated Carder Steuben collection of Thomas N. Armstrong III currently on exhibit at the Newark Museum.

We learned about Mr. Armstrong’s love of art and design and saw photos of his homes that included Carder Steuben pieces integrated throughout. For those wishing to see more of his collection in the context of his homes, his self-published book, “A Singular Vision” is available through Amazon.

Ms. Simon Hopwood warmly invited us to Newark to view the exhibit.
