TODAY is the DAY of the FAGCA Facebook live auction that many of our members have been requesting. We hope you are all planning to come join us at 6 PM EST.

Some of the items shown are OOAKs; some are very limited editions that will be available tonight. AND there is MORE glass that is not shown, glass handpainted especially for this event. You will want to come join us to see what all we will be offering to our members.

We can't wait to see you this evening. Just make sure you are a member prior to bidding. Anyone may watch the auction but you must be a paid subscription member in order to bid tonight.

If you are the high bidder, Sherri will be contacting you for payment information. Payment is due when she calls you. No layaways. Thank you so much.

Look at this amazing alley cat by Karen Easton. You will see this in our live sale on Saturday, March 2, starting at 6 PM EST.

Don't forget you must be a paid member of the FAGCA in order to participate in this auction.

Some more previews for our Saturday, March 2, Facebook live auction starting at 6 PM. These beauties are hand painted by CC Hardman. We will leave you guessing which, if any, might be limited editions vs OOAKs...

Make sure to mark you calendars and come join us for our first ever live sale in the winter with FAGCA exclusives. Remember you must be a member of the FAGCA in order to bid. Our nonprofit status allows us to sell to members only.

Don't forget to come join us on Saturday, March 2, at 6 PM EST for this fantastic auction of FAGCA exclusives. These two milk glass playful kittens on fount were pressed at Mosser with this former Fenton mold which is now owned by the club.

Both of these kittens were handpainted by Kay Cunningham Powers.

You can join by either clicking the link below or by calling in to the office. You MUST be a member in order to bid as required by our nonprofit status.

Look at this amazing OOAK (one-of-a-kind) vase handpainted by the awesome Kay Cunningham Powers (former Fenton artist) the 12" former Fenton oval pillow vase. This vase will be offered during our Facebook live auction on Saturday, March 2. Sale will be held right here on this page.

The FAGCA owns this mold and had these vases made by Davis-Lynch in WV.

Davis-Lynch has a history of making glass for Fenton while Fenton was still producing glass. Davis-Lynch made a lot of the opal lamp shades that were beautifully decorated by Fenton artists in the past. (Just in case you didn't know that.)

REMINDER: You MUST be an FAGCA member to bid in this auction.

Just a friendly reminder... FAGCA memberships are due February 1. If you haven't already renewed, make sure you do so this week so you don't miss any newsletters. We have something EXCITING coming up next month, but only members can participate. So don't delay, and THANKS if you have already paid!

2023 Convention Table Display
Top 3 Tables

Sincere thanks to everyone who attended our 2023 Convention. We do this for fellow collectors, keeping the magic of Fenton alive. YOU all helped make this year a great success.

Thanks to the board and convention co-chairs. This year was undoubtedly one of the most memorable - all thanks to Claire Kauffung, Deanna & Max Iverson, and Miriam Boyle. You brought so much fun to the experience this year!

Thank you to Karen Easton for heading up our table displays. They were so beautiful, organized, and exciting this year!

We also couldn't have succeeded without Sherri Tucker and Lois Briggs. Since she's been with us, Sherri has gone above and beyond every single day. Her dedication to our club's mission is evident in everything she does. We are grateful to have her on our team.

Many thanks to Randy Clark and Ryan Beardsley for their stellar auctioneering and Randy's online bidding service... and for allowing us to borrow Dakota Keene for IT work!

Thank you to our MANY volunteers, who stepped up without hesitation to assist in any way they could. You're the whole reason we have the club.

It takes teamwork, and we have an awesome team!

CC Hardman

We are deeply saddened to learn that longtime Fenton artist and friend Marilyn Wagner passed away last night (July 25). Her spirit will live on in the beautiful glass she painted.
