Center PA Festival of Arts

Center PA festival of arts celebrated its 45th anniversary this year from July 12-15 (http://www.arts-festival.com/). It is a 4-day event that brings about 125,000 people to state college PA. Various artists use this as an opportunity to showcase their art, glass makers being one of them. Below are pictures from this year's festival of arts.

I also met a glass worker from Dayton Ohio whose art work reminded me of Blenko; Thomas Chapman, who runs Shiloh Hotglass (937-277-4592). He was kind enough to extend invitation to visit his work shop, and said he may consider making custom pieces. Below are 2 videos of Thomas Chapman at work at his residence.
