Our purpose is to foster the public awareness of paperweights and related glass art works, and promote education about the history and artistic merits of the glass paperweight art form. To accomplish this, we provide a forum for education and fellowship with other paperweight collectors, and promote sharing knowledge with other interested people. Our goal is to provide an atmosphere that is both entertaining and educational so that interested individuals may learn more fully about the fascination of glass paperweights and better appreciate their history and beauty.
