Glass author tracks early patterns north of the border

    PARMA, Ohio - Early pressed glass produced in Canada will be the subject of a lecture by Faith Corrigan on Tuesday, June 7, at 7:30 p.m. at the Parma Masonic Temple, 6370 Ridge Road.  The public is invited to hear the lecture, which is sponsored by the Western Reserve Depression Glass Club.

    Corrigan, a former writer for the New York Times and a retired college English teacher, will share research she has gathered on this area of glassmaking.  Corrigan has found that many previously unknown patterns have been traced north of the border.  Information for Corrigan's lecture is from her book Bread, Glass and History.

    The Western Reserve Depression Glass Club, now in its 31st year, holds semiannual glass shows, the next taking place Oct. 15-16 in suburban Cleveland.  Corrigan is a charter member of the Western Reserve Depression Glass Club and is a member of the Early American Pattern Glass Society. - Antique Week, May 30, 2005
