Attention Educational Instructor,
With the cooperation of various art glass publishers, the KBW Foundation has donated over 58,000 surplus glass art books, magazines, and videos to schools and adult education centers. The Foundation is able to supply your class with art glass publications for your school.
The mission of the nonprofit, federally approved Kay Bain Weiner (KBW) Glass Art Educational Foundation is to stimulate interest and promote growth in the glass art industry through educational projects. To further this mission, the KBW Foundation has a responsibility to encourage the teaching of glass art in the public schools, where art programs have been severely cut in the face of critical budget shortages.
We have a good selection of paperback books available covering various glass techniques including various Pattern Books and How-To Techniques. Please note: we do not have any books on glass blowing. CLICK HERE to see an inventory of books available. These books are free of charge. The retail value of each book ranges from $11.95 to $29.95. Free books (one per student) are provided to teachers packed in a box of approximately 24 books of each title. A shipping fee of $15 per box will be required.
In order to qualify for books, instructors must be currently teaching at a public school, college, adult education center, senior citizen center or summer camp. Instructors are required to provide their and the school or center’s contact information. Books are for class use and not to be sold under any. You may keep the books for future classes but we do not know how long various titles will be available. (You may give excess books to your school library.) If you have any questions, please email Kay Bain Weiner at kayeastman@aol.com or call 760-603-8646.
It is our privilege to partner with you in encouraging others to discover the joy of learning to express themselves through the glass arts. We sincerely appreciate your dedication to helping us make that a reality in the lives of your students.
