glass fuser needs help
Posted: Wed Mar 26, 2003 5:22 pm
I'm not sure if this is appropriate for this part of the WGBB but I assume I'll be told if it's not.
I've known Bruce Laughlin for a while, he's a good guy, a straight shooter, taught silk screening on glass, has been a glass fuser for over 25 years (he was a graphic designer before that). He's done the BMAC and ACC shows as well as many others.
A couple of years ago, Bruce suffered a stroke that left him partially paralyzed. With much determination and guts, Bruce has had an almost complete recovery. He was back to work within months and he kept a positive attitude throughout that difficult period of time. Well, it looks like Bruce has another challenge to face now. He is separating from his wife and needs to find a new studio location to continue his work. Ideally, Bruce is looking for a situation in which he could rent studio space (not purchase) from another glass fuser or glass shop. He's got a lot of equipment he could bring to a new studio which he'd be willing to share in exchange for partial rent or whatever. Bruce is currently living in CT but he is very flexible about moving to any part of the country. If you can help Bruce in any way or know anyone who can, please contact him directly at home 643-7507; studio 646-0898. He may only continue to be at his current location for about a month so prompt replies would be appreciated. (This is appropriated from Rain Chiarizia's appeal on another board and from a phone conversation I had with Bruce yesterday- if anyone wants more info from me, email me). Marty Kremer
