Hi

Did any body take any photos they could post up of the Czech glass display at Cambridge glass fair that took place over the weekend?

I forgot my camera and was unable to take any .

Many thanks.

Hi Czech glass friends, I have made plenty photos there, I will put it to my web and picasa shortly and I will let you know. I came home Monday night and still had not find time to sort my pictures in photoshop.
Anyway, warmest thanks to Glass Fair organisers and Mr Nigel Benson and Mr Danny Walker for their excellent presentation of Czech glass. I was really .
Thank you so much

see now, there's just a 'few' bits there that would really look much better in my own home  ;D
Fabulous, gorgeous pieces of glass.
I need to see some closer pictures of each piece. 
Thank you Jindrich

The display was fantastic in the foyer. Photographic conditions with the lighting make it hard to convey the beautiful quality of the glass. My photos are not great but may help add to the overall archive a little. The images Patrick posted here are good ones: http://s117.photobucket.com/albums/o72/bargiepat/Altered%20State/


A great show that really had to be seen to be believed!

Hiya,

Thanks to Jindrich, Patrick and Robert for posting photos of the exhibition. Thanks also for the kind comments about the pieces shown.

I am indebted to Danny Walker whose idea it was. He also did amazing work on the rough drafts I sent him for the publicity and website information, so thanks is particularly due to him. It was an enjoyable event to be connected with and I am glad that it seemed to be well received :)

Kind wishes to all, Nigel
