Event Details

Friday, October 23 through Saturday, October 24, 2020

Join us online as we explore South Jersey’s immigration patterns, the history of the glass industry in the region, and applications of traditional European techniques in today’s glass studios. We are bringing together scholars of different disciplines – folklorists, historians, glass historians, and artists – to develop future research project questions and new partnerships based on the discussions at the intersection of these fields and themes.
