James Hayes, the internationally-acclaimed glass artist who is a member of the Arkansas Glasshoppers Club, will create one of the special glass displays with his wonderful blown glass. This year for our 31st Show, we are having interactive presentations throughout both days: How to create table settings using Depression Era glass, on Saturday at 10:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m., and 3:00 p.m., and on Sunday at 11:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Identification Marks will concern how to find and interpret identification marks on glass, showing at 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, and 1:00 p.m. on Sunday. Door prizes will be given on the hour and there will be a reference table for glass identification. Visitors may bring in up to three items for identification or evaluation.
