2017 RAD Studio Tour

GMS at RAD Studio Tour
Decatur, GA
Saturday, April 1, 2017

Once again, GMS was invited to entertain people at the RAD Studio Tour in Decatur, GA. RAD stands for Rail Arts District. There are many art studios in the area and once a year, several studios open their doors for demos and other activities. GMS members set up outside Atlanta Hot Glass, a glass working studio. We greeted visitors and told them about the demos inside, and we told them about all of the fun we have at GMS, too.

Mary & Doug Gurney, Shelley Stubbs, and I were in the GMS information booth. Many people came by to get grab bags, t-shirts, coloring books, and stickers. They got to see lots of rocks and learn about GMS. At the GMS demo booth, Juergen Poppelreuter demonstrated cutting slabs; Colis Antley and Charles Carter demonstrated cabbing; and Diana Poppelreuter demonstrated wire-wrapping. When we had time, we would take turns running into the glass studio to watch glass blowing demos.

It was a fun day under our new GMS tent and everyone had a great time!
