Last weekend I took a trip with two of my glass buddies to the Wheaton Arts and Cultural Center Fall Festival in Millville NJ.  I thoroughly enjoyed being on the “other side” of the booth.  I show my work at a few festivals a year, but never have the opportunity to take the time to enjoy artwork.  It was a nice change of pace.

We had a great time exploring the Museum of American Glass as well as the different Museum Stores. There is an opportunity to purchase all kinds of glass art from small works to large sculptures.  The buyers have taken great care to create a wonderful shopping experience.

The art festival provided an opportunity for us was nice to be on the “other side” of the booth.  There was a nice variety of artists represented at the festival.  It was good to see people buying art! 

The pick your own glass pumpkin patch was great fun. It featured both pumpkins and gourds made by artists at the creative glass center.  I selected a pumpkin to round out my fall decorations. The highlight of the weekend was the colossal pumpkin blow demonstration conducted by a team of arts at the Creative Glass Center of America.   The team work that went into this effort was amazing to watch.  They have great collection of pictures on their Facebook Page.
