Remembering Marty
by Kathleen Mitchell  I am proud to have been a colleague of Marty Marshall's. He was a dynamic, relentless, honorable, and kind man. His generosity is legendary and his love and adoration for his wife, Jean, admirable. We should all be so loved in our lives.
Marty accommodated me, my students, and countless other glassblowers when UCSD closed the Crafts Center in 2012. He continued to support me when I decided to build my own studio. He and Jean patiently listened to my worries and woes during the construction process, offering technical and emotional support at the drop of a hat. Marty would offer advice and Jean would bake something up in the kitchen that would magically dissipate my stress.
Marty left this world far too soon. He was just developing a new series of sculpture and was exploding creatively with the work he made influenced by his relationship with Maestro Davide Salvadore.
There will be a Memorial event at Spanish Village on November 14th at 5:00pm. This is a catered event so please RSVP here:

The James Edgar and
Jean Jessop Hervey
Point Loma Library Reception
The library coordinated our show with a floral exhibit by The Pt. Loma Garden Club, designed to compliment the art, similar to "Art Alive" at SDMA.
In addition, The Friends of the Library celebrated the 11th Anniversary of the new library building. It is a beautiful library and an exciting opportunity to expand our exposure in the community. Music, Art Glass and Floral Displays highlighted the Reception on Saturday Sept. 20.
Our Exhibit "Secrets of Art Glass Revealed" was complemented by the Point Loma Garden Club's beautiful and artful arrangements. Adding a festive atmosphere was entertainment by Ellen Quick, Harpist, who played for the first hour and Sue Palmer, Queen of Boogie Woogie, played the piano the second hour.
Dale Rekus, President, Point Loma Garden Club
"We had quite a bit of fun doing the floral designs and were pleased to have such a wide array of subjects of artwork from which to choose."

The AGASC Education Committee invites
you to join us for an amazing
"Day of Glass" in Palm Desert and Palm Springs
Thursday, December 11
We will meet at designated carpool locations at 9:00am sharp !
The first stop is Heather James Fine Art - 45188 Portola Ave, Palm Desert, CA 92260, where we will tour the current Michael Glancy exhibit and meet the artist himself !
Michael Glancy studied with Dale Chihuly while earning his MFA in glass from the Rhode Island School of Design. His career has included numerous solo and group exhibitions internationally. The Metropolitan Museum of Art acquired their first Glancy work in 1980.
While Glancy studied glass blowing, he's more interested in the manipulation of glass after it's blown. Glancy's artwork includes a process called electroforming. Using this method, Glancy is able to adhere metal to the glass to create these jewel-like sculptures. His work has been said to magnify nature in order to reveal an underlying structure; the flat panels of glass serve as bases that unfold into and inspire the vessels that rest upon them.
We will then break for lunch. Each carpool can decide where they would like to eat. If you wish to eat as a large group please contact Kathleen Mitchell, [email protected], so that she can make the appropriate reservation.
At 2:45pm we will convene at the front of the Palm Springs Art Museum - 101 N Museum Dr, Palm Springs, CA 92262 for a private, docent led tour by reknowned artist Patrick Blythe of the amazing new exhibit,"LINKS: Australian Glass and the Pacific Northwest"
For over forty years, connections between Australia and the Pacific Northwest have been forged through the relationships of artists, educational institutions, and entrepreneurs through the medium of glass. Brought together by a shared passion for glass, artists from both countries have developed long lasting and deeply influential relationships. These connections have made significant impacts on both continents forming unique links between Australian and American studio glass movements.
Please let us know ASAP if you are willing to drive and HOW MANY people you can take or if you need a ride !
Please bring cash to pay for your own lunch and to contribute to gas for your carpool driver.

AGA Tour of the Mengui Show " Three on the Edge" Saturday Nov 1st was a beautiful sunny day, perfect for meeting in Balboa Park for a private tour of the Mengui Museum. We expected just to see the show featuring San Diego Architects but instead enjoyed a tour of several exhibits.
We started at "Surf Craft", a unique surfboard exhibition will explore board design from a previously unexamined perspective: in the context of Soetsu Yanagi's mingei philosophy of the importance of craft on the first floor.
We then moved on to "The Realm of Nature" inspiring retrospective on the careers to these two esteemed American artists, Bob Stocksdale and Kay Sekimachi. Finally we saw the amazing exhibit "Three on the Edge" featuring San Diego Architects, Kendrick Kellogg, James Hubbell and Wallace Cunningham. This exhibit had drawings, models and photographs of realized designs. The three all had very different but equally inspiring designs.
After the tour we were able to wander through the museum and revisit some of our favorite areas and enjoy.
