Rumor has it that Master Glass Artist Randy Mardrus (http://www.randymardrus.com) may just be debuting an incredible new line of glass carvings; these will absolutely blow your mind. (See Ealge on Right)

Saperstein’s “Sharpshooters” for sale at the event – Unfortunately though Stanley will be out of town for the show this year and can’t make the event. Anyone who purchases a book at the event may opt to have it signed and shipped to them for receipt at a later date, orpick it up at our shop.

We’ll keep you posted on an appearance by Rosemary Buczek – Master Penman who will be stopping by to answer questions about her amazing calligraphy and hand illumination. (Parchment shown bottom right)
