"Glass Notes" by Henry Halem
Henry Halem has been involved in making and teaching glass since 1968. He also helped found the Glass Art Society and served as their first president. He was made a Fellow of The American Crafts Council in 1994 and received the Presidents Medal from Kent State University in 1998 for his contributions to the arts.
Henry built and maintained a major glass facility at Kent State University for 29 years. His experience makes him eminently qualified to write "Glass Notes" and pass on some of the "tricks of the trade".
