Newark Based Glassroots Needs Your Help





HELP SUPPORT NEWARK BASED GLASSROOTS AS IT REBUILDS FROM A FIRE!

GLASSROOTS, Newark's own magical non-profit glass hotshop, needs your help!  Last month a PSEG utiltity fire in front of our building caused damage to our equipment, and we're holding an online fundraising campaign to raise money for new equipment.  Our campaign on the Indiegogo website is HERE.  And if we get 30 new donors in the by August 10, an anonymous donor will give us an extra $2500!   Please consider making a gift - we have great perks for donors, and we'll appreciate every contribution.   And please, share this campaign with all your friends and on Facebook, and Twitter.  There are great sharing tools on the Indiegogo website.

At GlassRoots we use the power of glassmaking to engage and change the lives of underserved Newark youth. Time and time again we've seen a disengaged, trouble-bound young person transformed by the fascination of glass. If you want to find out more about what we do at GlassRoots, check out our website HERE.  Our students talk about what GlassRoots means to them HERE

GlassRoots is about kids, art, education, glass, business skills, and so much more. We appreciate your every contribution and your sharing of this wonderful organization! 

And don't forget - there are great gifts and perks for donors! Again, the fundraising website is HERE.  And we need 30 new donors to get $2500! Thank you so much!

After Lorca By Ted Hughes

AFTER LORCA by Ted Hughes The clock says "When will it be morning?"   The sun says "Noon hurt me."  The river cries with its mouthful of mud  And the sea moves every way without moving. Out of my ear grew a reed   Never touched by mouth.  Paper yellows, even without flame,  But in words carbon has already become diamond. A supple river of mirrors I run on   Where great shadows rise to the glance,  Flowing all forward and bringing  The world through my reflection. A voice like a ghost that is not   Rustle that dead in passage  Leaving the living chilled,  Wipe clear the pure glass of stone. Wipe clear the pure stone of flesh. A son...
