| Lara Glass at the 2013 Festival |
The fourth annual Festival
of Glass happens in mid-February 2014 in Drysdale, Victoria. Each year, the
Festival attracts thousands of visitors and the 2014 Festival adds two new
attractions to its popular regular features.
The heart of the
2014 Festival of Glass is a glass Expo,
which features stalls
by around fifty local and interstate artists, craftspeople and companies; demonstrations
of glass-working techniques; the prize-winners of the annual Drysdale Glass Awards; and an hourly chance to
win glass
collectibles donated by exhibitors.
The 2014 Expo is
on Sunday February 16 2014 between 10.00 a.m. and 4.00 p.m. at Christian
College, 40 Collins Street, Drysdale. (Melway 238 G8) At this new, well-ventilated
venue, exhibitors and visitors can enjoy the exhibits and activities in comfort.
Entrance to the Expo is free and each year it attracts thousands of visitors.
NEW ATTRACTION 1. The 2014 Expo will include Glass on
Film - a festival of short films presenting the art, craft and
industry of glass.
Visitors to the
2014 Expo can enjoy a full day out in Drysdale, visiting the nearby monthly
Drysdale Market, visiting the local wineries and olive farms and riding the
historic Bellarine Peninsula Railway between Drysdale and Queenscliff.
