I hope Lesley Pike might be at the National in November, these doesn't seem to be any sort of exhibitor list on the site, (but I'm afraid I find that site really difficult to look at, far less use - the Cambridge one is far easier).

Hi Sue , and any others who feel the National Glass Fair site is a little difficult to navigate,it's really quite simple , from the Home Page you will see a tab on the left ,

HOME >
Contact
location
fair details > hover mouse on the arrow another tab appears
                                                                                     Future fairs,
                                                                                     Exhibitors ,( there it is!!! )
                                                                                     floor plans.
                                                                                     etc.

Hope that helps, OK back to packing for Cambridge, and back on the topic, there will be a lot of 17thc and 18thc engraved glass for all to see (stand 4) ,obviously not in the same form and style of the 19thc and 20thc pieces being discussed ,but a wonderfull look at the forerunners and best exponents of engraving at the time .

Cheers ,
            Peter.

Hi Peter, it's that great static vertical band of "nothing" on the left occupying most of the screen that most irritates me about the site - that and the fact that "hovering mice" bits keep vanishing. The static band means any images that come up are amost unviewable, they're so small. I rapidly get so annoyed I give up.
And I can't physically get to Cambridge anyway.

Hope you have a good time at Cambridge! :thup:

Oh well , as if by magic  :tof: the 'Cambridge Glass Fair' site has changed try this link for the new site
http://www.cambridgeglassfair.com/index.htm
possibly cookies are not not taking you to the recent site and the one you are taken to sounds corrupted to me ,

cheers ,
             Peter.

The Cambridge site is fine Peter - it's the National one I dislike intensely.
But it's Cambridge I cannot get to, logistics and the expense of getting there make it simply out of the question.
I'm coming to the National though.  :thup:

Lustrousstone and I have just returned from the Scottish Glass Conference, where we've been meeting and talking to and hobnobbing with Alison Kinnaird, Denis Mann and Katherine Coleman .......... just to name a few.
