PCA TX now has 87 members from 45 cities, 14 states and two countries. People join PCA TX to share information about paperweights and enjoy the fellowship that comes with exchanging information with one another. Collectors learn about the unique features of this artistry in glass; the process of creating the designs, composition, developing the themes, colors, shapes, and sizes of glass paperweights, and what to look for in selecting paperweights for a collection.
All members of PCA TX are invited to bring paperweights you no longer are interested in having in your collection to the PCA TX meeting in Buda, Texas, June 20, 2015 where a silent auction will be held with proceeds benefiting the PCA TX organization. Sellers determine in advance the minimum (reserve) bid if any to place on the weight. Buyers will pay by check or cash and there will be a 10% premium going to the Paperweight Collectors Association of Texas, Inc. Scholarship Fund.
Members who have acquired paperweights since the last meeting will also want to consider bringing them to the meeting prepared to say just a word or two about them and share their beauty and uniqueness with other collectors.
Paperweight Collectors from around the state eagerly invite interested attendees to the October 17th meeting in Fort Worth, TX. The meeting begins at 10:00 AM in the Conference room at the Marriott Residence Inn – Cultural District. Browse and buy paperweights offered by William Pitt (Florida). Join us for educational programs beginning at 1:00 PM with a presentation by paperweight artist Damon MacNaught. Bring paperweights with a Fall theme to share with others. The day is a free event and all are welcome. Check out our Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/paperweightcollectorsoftexas/
