The Outreach Network recently held its second quarterly social networking event! We gathered at The Glass Palette in Charlottesville to put our creativity to work, crafting beautiful, fused glass ornaments. Now, we’re eagerly anticipating seeing our artwork after it’s been fired in the kiln. If you have any ideas for our next networking social, please don’t hesitate to reach out and share them!
