STEPHEN KOOB
Stephen Koob spoke at our 2012 Symposium on the subject of conservation and care of the objects in the Corning Museum of Glass. He was recently recognized for his dedication to training and mentoring students.
His book (which I wholeheartedly recommend for your bookshelf), “Conservation and Care of Glass Objects,” is currently on sale ($22.46) in the GlassMarket at the Corning Museum of Glass. You can order it on-line (www.cmog.org) or buy it when you attend the Symposium in September.
