Peter Visiting the Northern Paperweight Society Convention
Peter is happy to have accepted an invitation to the Northern Paperweight Society Convention on 14-15th May. He and Andrew have each been making new traditional paperweights for the event. The Northern Paperweight Society dedicated the month of February to their members sharing paperweights they own from Peter's work in the days of Selkirk Glass. He enjoyed seeing photo's of paperweights he had not seen for a long time.
The preparation for the Convention has been an inspiring time. In the photo's above you can see from left to right, a traditional paperweight hot on the iron about to have a glass layer applied, canes which Andrew and Peter have been pulling and will be cut into millefiori, and a beautiful purple flower faceted paperweight. This piece is currently available on the website here; www.holmesglass.com/traditionalpaperweights
