DONATIONS

With the sudden and sad death of Dan Klein in June, the glass world has lost its most distinguished proponent and strongest advocate.

His influence has touched every glass maker, curator, gallery owner, collector and enthusiast around the world. His passion for glass has inspired us all; he was the most knowledgeable, generous, encouraging and kind mentor. He worked tirelessly - right up to the last working on his laptop in his hospital bed.

For this we all owe him a great debt of gratitude and we want to establish a fitting memorial to him.

In 1995 Dan played a key role in the founding of North Lands Creative Glass at Lybster in the north of Scotland and at his death was a Director of North Lands and the Chairman of its Advisory Board. It has been decided to establish a fund in Dan's memory to develop the work of North Lands both in education and in the provision of further state-of-the-art studio space.

Some Artists and Galleries have agreed to contribute to the Dan Klein Memorial Fund by selecting a special piece of work & donating their selling price to the fund. To view these pieces please follow the link .
