This year’s Annual Summer
Conference was held in the Mile High
City — Denver, Colorado. The more
than 130 attendees were treated to a
program that focused on stained glass
painting techniques and technology.
Conference hosts Jenkyn Powell of
Powell Brothers and Sons Art Glass and
Jon Rarick of Reusché and Company of
TWS, Inc., put together a program that
ranged from the very traditional to the
very contemporary.
The Conference began on
Tuesday with a presentation from Jon
Rarick on product safety and selection
in stained glass painting. Later that
evening at the Welcome Buffet, David
Wagner of Derix Studios gave a
PowerPoint presentation on recent
large-scale work fabricated by Derix
for artists in the United States.
Members and affiliates gathered
Wednesday morning to discuss future
direction of the Association; after lunch,
Roy Coomber gave the first of his two
very popular seminars on stained glass
painting technique. Later, Marie Pascale
Foucault-Phipps presented her work as a
stained glass painter. The day’s activities
concluded with an artists’ panel moder-
ated by Ellen Mandelbaum that included
panel members Marie Pascale Foucault-
Phipps, David Wagner, Kathy Bradford
and Nick Parrendo. Most Conference
attendees ended the night at Herb’s Bar, a
popular Denver night spot to hear Laura
Newman and her band Alive on Arrival
play a lively mix of blues and jazz.
Thursday’s events began with a
tour of Denver Glass Machinery, where

de verre windows were designed by

styles, including abstractions,
