CMoG’s current exhibit, Botanical Wonders. The Havard University’s celebrated

Consider if you like bringing up the idea of having a “Steuben Prize” for a contemporary artist who comes up with great designs in glass innovating on Carder. It could bring your group and Carder’s work a lot of attention and new members.
Debbie trained at The Studio, adjacent to the Carder collection in building “B”. The
two spaces are connected so that students can study Carder’s creations as examples
for developing their own work. We’ll put this on the business meeting agenda for
discussion and consideration.
