Open Torch at

Goggleworks!

Gogglworks will have open torch
10am-5pm

Bring your own glass and tools and play on their equipment

Dragons meeting will be somewhere mid-day

All are welcome, free parking

The hot shop should be open Sun afternoon if you want to try your hand at making a paperweight or flower, etc. (for a fee).  The fusing studio will also be open, so there will be lots to do if you want a break from the torch.  Sat night is the Get it While It's Hot Auction fund raiser for the Goggleworks with a silent and live auction. If you would like to include a piece for the auctions, contact Scott at skrenitsky@goggleworks.org.

We will be in building #6.  (Follow the blue footprints.)  If you come into the parking lot according to the directions below, you will drive around building #6, on your right.  There is lots of parking.  There is also a cafe in the main building for lunch.  If you bring your lunch, it is no problem to eat in the cafe.  The building is heated.

Goggleworks, 201 Washington Street | Reading, PA 19601 
610-374-4600

The parking lot is actually behind the building, not off Washington.  Follow 422 west toward Reading, take the Penn STREET exit (NOT Penn Ave!).  That will take you over the Penn St bridge into Reading.  Take the 2nd left (the first street is one way the other way), go through the next traffic light and go 1/2 block, turn left into the alley.  There is a small sign there.  Follow that to the parking lot.
