As the title indicates, Dr. Keith Wahl will talk about the science and art of glass.  He will be showing and discussing some of his creations and has agreed to give away one of his pieces, which we will do by having a drawing.  This is sure to be a visually and intellectually stimulating presentation.  It should also be fun!

Dr. Wahl established the tone of his talk right from the start by wearing this hat:
