I really thought I knew about all the Florida shows worth mentioning but this event,
CraftArt 2008, in downtown St. Petersburg, held on November 22 and 23, was brought to my attention by a comment
Matthew Hatala made on the topic "
Did Anybody Make Any Money This Weekend?"
Collette Fortin of Neptune Hot Glass making the sale I visited the event's website:
http: //www.floridacraftsmen.net/main.html and found a classy website and some really nice events. Then I looked at their exhibitor list and saw lots of people I know. This looks like a very cool event. Can anyone tell me more about it? They give out $16,000 in awards and the very good news is that glassblowers
Berry Davis and
Collette Fortin of Celina, OH, won the Best of Show prize of $5000! Congratulations, Berry and Collette. If you aren't two of the hardest working people in this business, I don't know who is. They don't have a website but I did find a place where you can purchase some of their paperweights:
