Call for Submissions – GAS Conference 2012 Toledo, OH

August 23, 2010 by Cathi Milligan

Toledo Museum of Art

This posting was taken directly from an email sent by GAS, Glass Art Society.

Call for Presentation Proposals for the Glass Art Society 2012 Toledo,
OH Conference

Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Studio Glass “Roots” in America,
the Glass Art Society’s 42nd annual conference takes place in Toledo,
Ohio, June 13-16, 2012.

PROPOSAL SUBMISSION DEADLINE: OCTOBER 25, 2010
http://www.glassart.org/calls_for_conf_proposals.html

The Glass Art Society Board of Directors is requesting proposals for
lectures, demonstrations, lec-mo’s and panels for the Toledo, Ohio
conference relating to the celebration of the 50th anniversary of Studio
Glass “Roots” in America.

In recognition of the Toledo Museum of Art’s role as the cradle of
the American Studio Glass Movement, GAS will be holding its 2012 conference
in Toledo, Ohio. In 1962, two experimental glass workshops held at
the Museum proved that glass was a medium suitable for the expression
of artistic ideas in a studio environment. They launched a movement
that was propelled by an unprecedented collective enthusiasm and since
has turned into an international phenomenon that continues to inspire
experimentation. Toledo, America’s Glass City, is welcoming again artists
from around the world to celebrate the achievements of the past and
to explore the seemingly endless possibilities of glass. Proposal submissions
should recognize this historic year for studio glass, while reflecting
the innovative spirit, diverse viewpoints, and current concerns of
the Glass Art Society community at large.

DIGITAL SUBMISSIONS ONLY
– Online through the GAS website
– Or on Disc mailed to the GAS office

Please visit the Call for Conference Proposals webpage for complete
details.

20 Wheelchair Friendly Sewing Patterns

When my mum started using a wheelchair for longer outings, it changed how we approached everything — from how we packed her essentials to how she stayed warm and dry outdoors. As a lifelong sewist, I naturally turned to my fabric stash and sewing machine to help make life a little easier and more comfortable for her. I began sewing a variety of accessories and quickly discovered there’s an entire world of wheelchair-friendly sewing patterns out there — not just for bags, but for clothing too.

This roundup isn’t just about tote bags and organizers (although there are plenty of clever, functional options for those too!). It’s a collection of sewing patterns that help make everyday life in a wheelchair more comfortable, dignified, and practical. You’ll find saddle bags, armrest pouches, walker bags, and even fat quarter-friendly designs that let you personalize every piece. I’ve tried several of these myself to see what best suits my mum’s needs on different days — whether it’s a compact arm bag for quick outings or a spacious tote for longer trips.

But what really amazed me were the adaptive clothing patterns included in this roundup. From a brilliantly designed rain poncho that keeps the wearer dry without bunching or slipping, to a split-back jumper that’s easy to get on and off — these pieces are more than just functional. They help preserve dignity, comfort, and independence. And sewing them yourself allows you to adjust the fit, style, and fabrics to your loved one’s personal preferences — something store-bought options often overlook.

This collection is for anyone sewing for someone who uses a wheelchair — whether it’s a parent, partner, friend, or someone in your community. These sewing patterns blend compassion with creativity, offering practical solutions with a personal, handmade touch. Whether you’re a beginner sewist or a seasoned pro, these tutorials are an incredible starting point for crafting with care.

Scroll down to explore the full list of wheelchair-friendly sewing patterns — from brilliant bags to cozy clothing. Each project is designed to make daily life just a little bit easier, and a lot more personal.
