The Essential [Conference Visitors’] Can’t-Miss List
Every so often, Corning plays host to a large conference like the 2015 Wine Bloggers Conference, a 4-day summit featuring hundreds of wine enthusiasts and writers from all parts of the United States and Canada – or the 2016 Glass Art Society Conference, a 3-day experience for visitors from all around the world to meet their fellow artists, […]

Junk in Your Trunk Becomes Stylish Funk
If Corning artist Amelia Harnas ever happens to help you with cleaning your office, home or car (AKA “fixing your hoarding problem”), rest assured your precious sentimental valuables (AKA “your junk”) won’t meet their demise in the county landfill. Instead, they’ll likely meet a loftier end, repurposed as haute coutour. That’s what happened to an inherited IKEA lamp […]
