(HGM 878 M, Heisey Glass Museum, Newark, Ohio, USA)
-----------------------------------
"1405 Ipswich" is the designation for a specific glass product design made in Newark, Ohio by the Heisey Glass Company (1896 to 1957). Heisey glass designs are called "patterns". Pattern designations include a number (not necessarily consecutively numbered during the history of the glass factory) and a name. Some pattern names were given by the Heisey company, while others were given by Heisey glass researchers.
"Moongleam" refers to a type of colored glass that Heisey produced - in this case, light green.
The source of silica for Heisey glass is apparently undocumented, but was possibly a sandstone deposit in the Glassrock area (Glenford & Chalfants area) of Perry County, Ohio (if anyone can provide verfication of this, please inform me). Quarries in the area targeted the Pennsylvanian-aged Massillon Sandstone (Pottsville Group) and processed it into glass sand suitable for glass making.
-----------------------------------
From museum signage:
Augustus H. Heisey (1842-1922) emigrated from Germany with his family in 1843. They settled in Merrittown, Pennsylvania and after graduation from the Merrittown Academy, he worked for a short time in the printing business.
In 1861, he began his life-long career in the glass industry by taking a job as a clerk with the King Glass Company of Pittsburgh. After a stint in the Union Army, Heisey joined the Ripley Glass Company as a salesman. It was there that he earned his reputation of "the best glass salesman on the road".
In 1870, Heisey married Susan Duncan, daughter of George Duncan, then part-owner of the Ripley Company and later full owner, at which time he changed its name to George Duncan & Sons. A year later, he deeded a quarter interest to each of his two children. A few years after his death, A.H. Heisey and James Duncan became sole owners. In 1891, the company joined the U.S. Glass Company to escape its financial difficulties. Heisey was the commercial manager.
Heisey began to formulate plans for his own glass company in 1893. He chose Newark, Ohio because there was an abundance of natural gas nearby and, due to the efforts of the Newark Board of Trade, there was plenty of low cost labor available. Construction of the factory at 301 Oakwood Avenue began in 1895 and it opened in April of 1896 with one sixteen-pot furnace. In its heyday, the factory had three furnaces and employed nearly seven hundred people. There was a great demand for the fine glass and Heisey sold it all over the world.
The production in the early years was confined to pressed ware, in the style of imitation cut glass. The company also dealt extensively with hotel barware. By the late 1890s, Heisey revived the colonial patterns with flutes, scallops, and panels which had been so popular decades earlier. These were so well accepted that from that time on, at least one colonial line was made continuously until the factory closed.
A.H. Heisey's name appears on many different design patents including some when he was with George Duncan & Sons. Heisey patterns that he was named the designer include 1225 Plain Band, 305 Punty and Diamond Point, and 1776 Kalonyal.
Other innovations instituted by A.H. Heisey were the pioneering in advertising glassware in magazines nationally, starting as early as 1910 and the first glass company to make fancy pressed stems. That idea caught on quickly and most hand-wrought stemware is made in this manner, even now.

Metal roofing customization options allow homeowners to tailor their roofs to their specific preferences, enhancing their homes' aesthetics and functionality. Understanding the breadth of customization options is crucial for achieving the desired look. From selecting the perfect color and finish to incorporating intricate architectural details and patterns, homeowners have numerous possibilities to explore when customizing their metal roofs.
Contrary to a common misconception, metal roofing is not solely reserved for industrial or commercial structures but has become increasingly popular in residential settings. Modern installation techniques and materials have facilitated this transition, allowing for the adaptation of metal roofing to various architectural styles. Homeowners can choose from various metal roofing materials, such as aluminum, steel, or copper, based on their preferences and budget. Additionally, customization options enable the alignment of metal roofing with classic or contemporary designs, offering homeowners flexibility in achieving their desired aesthetic.
Material Types
One popular material option for metal roofing is aluminum. Aluminum is lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and versatile, making it an excellent choice for residential and commercial projects. Its durability also ensures a long lifespan, often exceeding 50 years. Additionally, aluminum roofing is easy to shape and can be painted in various colors, providing a range of customization possibilities.
Steel is another commonly used material for metal roofing systems. It offers exceptional strength and durability, making it suitable for areas prone to extreme weather conditions. Steel roofs, including stainless and galvanized steel, can withstand heavy snow loads and high winds, making them ideal for regions with harsh climates. Furthermore, steel is available in multiple thicknesses, allowing for customization based on specific architectural styles.
Copper is a more luxurious option for metal roofing. It provides a distinctive appearance that develops an attractive patina over time. A copper roof is highly durable, corrosion-resistant, and can last centuries. Due to its elegance and timeless beauty, it is often chosen for historic or high-end architectural styles.
Lastly, zinc is a versatile material that offers durability and aesthetic appeal. Zinc roofing is known for its self-healing properties, protecting the roof from scratches and dents. Its distinct blue-gray color can complement various architectural styles, making it a popular choice for residential and commercial projects.
When considering the benefits of metal roofing, it is essential to explore the various types available, including aluminum, steel, copper, and zinc. Additionally, options like seam metal roofs and the range of styles metal roofing suppliers offer allow further customization. Professional installation is recommended to ensure the best results, providing peace of mind that your metal roof will perform optimally for many years.
Color Choices
When it comes to metal roofing customization options, one of the critical elements to consider is the wide range of color choices available. Most metal roofing manufacturers provide standard and premium color ranges, allowing customers to choose a color that suits their style and aesthetic preferences. Popular metal roof colors include matte black, charcoal gray, and various lighter and darker colors, all of which can be found in a detailed color chart provided by the manufacturer.
Additionally, specific metal roofing systems offer coating systems that provide added protection and durability, such as polyester, silicone polyester, and PVDF coatings. These coatings enhance the roof's lifespan and contribute to its overall aesthetics by improving its surface and reflective properties. They help reduce radiant heat and lower the building's carbon footprint.
Mixing and matching colors is another customization option available for types of metal roofs. This allows homeowners to create unique, eye-catching designs by combining shades or finishes. Mixing and matching colors can transform an entire roof's look, adding depth and visual interest.
Metal roofing manufacturers often offer custom color-matching services for those seeking a specific color unavailable in the standard or premium color ranges. This service ensures that the roof color matches the desired shade, enabling homeowners to achieve a personalized look.
When selecting metal roofing options, it's essential to consider how the color options can impact the overall look and performance of the roof. For example, lighter colors are often chosen for their excellent roof properties, reflecting more sunlight and reducing cooling costs. In comparison, darker colors may be preferred for their sleek appearance and ability to blend with various architectural styles. Whether replacing a current roof or installing a new one on complex roofs, metal roofing offers a versatile range of styles and colors to meet various needs and preferences. Additionally, metal roofs, including tin roofs, are known for their durability and ability to withstand severe weather conditions, making them an excellent choice for any project.
Panel Styles
Corrugated metal roofing panels are known for their distinctive wave-like shape, which adds visual interest to any roofing project and offers a classic design. These panels are cost-effective and relatively easy to install, making them famous for residential and commercial buildings. The installation cost for corrugated panels is generally lower than other roofing options, making them an excellent choice for those on a budget. Additionally, they are highly durable and can withstand harsh weather conditions without sustaining much damage, providing a curb appeal boost.
On the other hand, standing seam metal roofing panels offer a more sleek and modern look. They have a raised interlocking seam that gives the roof a clean and uniform appearance. Due to the more intricate installation process, the installation cost of standing seam panels is higher than that of corrugated panels. However, the benefits it offers are worth considering. Standing seam panels are known for their exceptional durability and resistance to leaks. The interlocking seam also provides extra protection against wind uplift, making it an excellent choice for areas prone to storms and high winds.
Other metal roofing options include metal shingles and metal roof tiles. Metal shingles, such as steel shingles and aluminum roofs, are designed to mimic the appearance of traditional shingles but offer the added benefits of metal roofing, including increased durability and longevity. Metal roof tiles are another versatile option that can replicate the look of traditional roofing materials while providing the strength and durability of metal.
When considering a metal roof replacement, evaluating the different types of roof panels and their suitability for your roof structure and slope is essential. For example, fastener panels are another option that can provide a secure and durable roofing solution. Additionally, steel roofing, including steel shingles, is renowned for its strength and ability to withstand severe weather conditions, making it an ideal choice for residential and commercial applications.
Metal roofing panels offer various styles and benefits, from the cost-effective and visually appealing corrugated panels to the sleek and durable standing seam panels. Whether you choose metal shingles, metal roof tiles, or other metal roofing options, you can achieve a durable, long-lasting, and aesthetically pleasing roof that enhances your property's overall value and performance.

In 1870, Heisey married Susan Duncan, daughter of George Duncan, then part-owner of the Ripley Company and later full owner, at which time he changed its name to George Duncan & Sons. A year later, he deeded a quarter interest to each of his two children. A few years after his death, A.H. Heisey and James Duncan became sole owners. In 1891, the company joined the U.S. Glass Company to escape its financial difficulties. Heisey was the commercial manager.
Heisey began to formulate plans for his own glass company in 1893. He chose Newark, Ohio because there was an abundance of natural gas nearby and, due to the efforts of the Newark Board of Trade, there was plenty of low cost labor available. Construction of the factory at 301 Oakwood Avenue began in 1895 and it opened in April of 1896 with one sixteen-pot furnace. In its heyday, the factory had three furnaces and employed nearly seven hundred people. There was a great demand for the fine glass and Heisey sold it all over the world.
The production in the early years was confined to pressed ware, in the style of imitation cut glass. The company also dealt extensively with hotel barware. By the late 1890s, Heisey revived the colonial patterns with flutes, scallops, and panels which had been so popular decades earlier. These were so well accepted that from that time on, at least one colonial line was made continuously until the factory closed.
A.H. Heisey's name appears on many different design patents including some when he was with George Duncan & Sons. Heisey patterns that he was named the designer include 1225 Plain Band, 305 Punty and Diamond Point, and 1776 Kalonyal.
Other innovations instituted by A.H. Heisey were the pioneering in advertising glassware in magazines nationally, starting as early as 1910 and the first glass company to make fancy pressed stems. That idea caught on quickly and most hand-wrought stemware is made in this manner, even now.

This site-specific intervention installs yellow barricade tape reading “Poverty Line Do Not Cross” throughout the rapidly gentrifying area of the Bowery. Using familiar police language as a departure, the intervention illuminates the invisible poverty line associated with income inequality on the Bowery, which at one time defined the term “skid row”. With about 1.7 million New Yorkers living below the official threshold for poverty, ”Poverty Line” makes this reality visible.

Flint Knapping at the Tijeras Pueblo Museum
Joseph Birkmann demonstrated Flint Knapping as part of The Friends of Tijeras Pueblo Monthly Lecture Series
Flint knapping is the manufacture of stone tools by the reductive processes of flaking or chipping. It involves a process in which stone tools are created by striking a rock at specific points, known as percussion, or by pressure flaking. This practice can produce may different types of tools, such as arrowheads, burins, knives, blades, dart points, spear points, scrapers, drills, and bifaces, among others.
Birkmann will provided an explanation of this process and a demonstrated of how to flint knap. He was joined by additional flint knappers, Christopher Greubel and Alfred Garcia.
Joseph Birkmann is a lithicist, flint knapper, and Ph.D. candidate at the University of New Mexico. Joseph specializes in the Archaic history of the Southwest and has conducted fieldwork throughout New Mexico and Southeastern Arizona. His research interests include projectile point typology, experimental archaeology, lithic replication, and the Middle Archaic adoption of agriculture in the Southern Southwest.

One of the site specific shows during the Vancouver Fringe Festival was "Slumber Here", a spin on "A Midsumer's Night Dream". Beautiful use of space, creative lighting, costumes, and acting.
The Vancouver Fringe Festival is over for this year, but the Van Fringe keeps original, creative, theatre, going all year in Vancouver through the "Theatre Wire".
