To Corning from NYC for non-drivers, I recommend the Shortline Coach from Port Authority, three busses to Corning daily, only one stop in Binghamton to change busses. The new Corning bus station is right in Market Street district, one-half block from either the Radisson or the Rockwell Museum, then you can use the shuttle bus to CMoG. Easy as pie, go to www.coachusa.com/shortline.

Coming Soon

The son of a Corning Inc. glassblower will speak to the Carder Steuben Club attendees at its Symposium on September 19 -20. William Warmus became Curator of Modern Glass at CMOG in 1978. During his seven years at the Museum, he added over 1200 artworks to the modern collection. Warmus is a Fellow of the Corning Museum of Glass, independent curator, historian, appraiser and author of more than a dozen books including biographies of Tiffany, Lalique and Chihuly. He specializes in modern glass, abstract art, and the aesthetics of the natural environment.
Warmus’ lecture is entitled “Angels to Artists: the Houghton and Buechner years at Steuben.”

More Grapes

Hi Alan,
When someone mentioned see Questions about John Shuman III’s ACB Discusssion ing a Sinclaire Grapes decorated candleholder on eBay, I was reminded that I recently sold a lone Pairpoint candleholder with the Grape engraving. I don’t know why it didn’t register in the first message about Steuben Grape versus Pairpoint Grape. Here are some photos of it, if you would like to show them. Oh, and one of a Ppt. goblet in another color with the same engraving.

Questions about John Shuman III’s ACB Discussion

Alan, I don’t see any “Acid cutback” as per the John A. Shuman III article on the Steuben Club website. Are we talking about acid etched? I don’t recall any pieces with “the inner layer being cut away”? Also the figure of 1800 total pieces seems very low for acid etched as I would think just the shade production would far exceed that number.
