I will be speaking at the American Glass Guild 2009 Conference. It will be held in Buffalo, New York, from July 16-20, 2008.
I'll be talking about "Stained Glass in the Internet Age" -
How might emerging internet technologies affect the prospects for stained glass artists and studios in the future? How can the field of stained glass benefit in terms of training, education, information sharing, scholarship, marketing and, maybe even, perhaps, direct sales? In what is referred to as “web 2.0” there are such a dizzying array of new options available for selling, promoting and marketing both your work and stained glass in general - what to make of it?
Here are a few links related to the other presenters -
• William Derix of Derix Glasstudios will speak on Art Glass In Architecture. I did a blog post about a Derix window in St. Louis. I'm looking forward to hearing what he has to say.
