Stretch-Out Discussions

For several years, we have sponsored virtual educational discussions of selected stretch glass-focused topics. Known as “Stretch-Out Discussions,” these these Zoom meetings feature the leading experts and researchers in stretch glass, Russell and Kitty Umbraco and Dave and Renée Shetlar, along with other stretch glass enthusiasts and explore a particular stretch glass topic as well as provide a forum for participants to report new discoveries of stretch glass, request ID of their stretch glass and share other updates. Stretch-Out Discussions are open to all who are interested in learning about stretch glass and are announced on our website and on Facebook.

 

Stretch-Out Discussions are conducted on the interactive Zoom platform. This is a fantastic opportunity to learn from our experts and to share your knowledge with us. Do you have an article of stretch glass you need identified? Perhaps you would like to share a recent acquisition or you can simply watch and enjoy the discussion. Both members and non-members of the Stretch Glass Society are invited to participate.

MEMBERS: Members will automatically be sent the Zoom links ahead of the Stretch Out Discussion date(s). You can also access the Zoom link on the members-only pages of the website.

NON-MEMBERS: Please register here to receive the Zoom link for the next Stretch Out Discussion.

 

Note: Non-members must reregister for each SOD date.

Schedule

Discussions begin at 8 pm Eastern, 7 Central, 6 Mountain & 5 Pacific Time. All are welcome to join the Zoom meetings.
The Discussions will be conducted on the interactive Zoom platform. The Zoom invitation and photos of the stretch glass being discussed will be available on the website.

Come share in the discussion and show your stretch glass. The speakers for our discussions are Kitty and Russell Umbraco, Dave Shetlar, Cal Hackeman, and Sarah Plummer.​​
