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.

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!

Post by: nigel benson on October 04, 2011, 10:55:56 PM: 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

Post by: langhaugh on October 16, 2011, 03:59:30 PM: Thanks to all for the photographs, and thanks to Jindrich for the article. He summed the experience up very well. I felt much the same, even as a non-Czech. The Fair was like a living book on glass, as the quality of the glass was high, the attributions spot on for virtually all the pieces (not something I'm used in Canada), and yet the prices were reasonable. The biggest thrill for me was meeting Jindrich and Robert and listening to them talk about Czech glass. They are as they seem to be on the GMB: absolutely outstanding people. A real privilege.

Post by: rosieposie on October 16, 2011, 04:32:25 PM: Thank you Jindrich, you have touched me with your beautiful, sensitively written article.....I admit, I was moved to tears reading it, and it was, in some small way, compensation for being unable to attend this fair.
boBa, thank you for your taking the time and trouble to translate so that we could all join in Jindrich's joy.

I do hope I will be able to come to the Birmingham fair......and if so, will try to seek you both out to shake hands and say hello.

Post by: Anik R on October 16, 2011, 04:36:59 PM: That's what I love about Jindra... not only is he emotional and passionate about Czech glass, but he offers his expertise with great heart. We Czech glass collectors are extremely fortunate because of that.

It's a wonderful article. (Robert, lovely job with the translation!)
