The Blaschka Conference

I’ve mentioned the amazing glass models of the father and son team of Leopold and Rudolph Blaschka before. Apparently, today is the start of the first-ever international conference devoted to their work. I’m glad to see that there is growing interest in the Blaschkas’ work. The models are heart-stoppingly beautiful.
