Glass Artists and the Importance of Notebooks
People I respect like Ed Schmid and Karl Carter have steadfastly stated that an important step in becoming a better glass artist is keeping a detailed notebook.
My friends at Turning Point Gallery www.turningpointgallery2.com in Media, PA
today provided me with these examples of notebook pages of the North Carolina Glass Artist John Nygren www.johnnygren.com/gallery.html
I was awestruck by both his work and his detailed notebooks with color sketches.
You may not be able to tell in the reduced-size photos below, but every glass piece, now numbering in the thousands, is sequentially detailed in his notebooks.

Just curious - does anyone have possession of Anderson, myers etcs
sketch pads?
These things belong in a museum.

I was told
but don't know l00% that Tammy Kosla has many archival Blenko documents, also JPM gave to Hillary everything he possessed that was Blenko related in 2009.
So between the two of them and that NYC guy who was Winslow's friend they probably have what you are speaking of.

I doubt that Glassdoc owns these materials, she would have shared with us.
I agree these documents should belong to a serious collector or a museum.
