For the last few years, Dan Daniels, founder of Delphi Glass, has had his eye on China.
With its rich art history and growing middle class, the country offers a new opportunity for the largest art glass retailer in America.
In the United States, art glass, like woodworking or quilting, is a popular pastime. But until recently, China didn’t have the luxury of pastimes.
“Ten or even five years ago, the Chinese didn’t have the time or money to take on a hobby,” Daniels said. “Now that’s starting to change.”
As a result of economic development, leisure-time activities are becoming more and more common in China. People are spending free time with their families, playing outside or visiting the mall.
But there are no big box craft stores offering paper crafts, jewelry or sewing supplies in China. The craft industry as we know it in the U.S. is simply non-existent. Likewise, there are no art glass stores offering stained glass, ...

The students and parents of Mrs. Johnson’s first grade elementary class at Westchase elementary in Tampa, FL, recently created glass art mosaic tables to auction off for its annual fundraiser.
The students used stained glass chips and venetian glass tiles to create kiwi, watermelon, orange and apple designs onto 19" wrought iron tables. The fruit designs, created by Martin Cheek, were a big hit with the kids and  the parents.
At the auction, the tables received the highest bids of the evening. Supplies were donated by ...

As catalogers, we send out a lot of paper. We hope that people keep our Delphi catalogs for a long time (and I think many do), but then what? The thought of all that paper ending up in the waste basket makes me sad.
Imagine my joy to find a pinboard by Catalogs.com filled with creative uses for old catalogs! Here are some of my favorites.
1. Star ornaments (top left)
2. Stretchy bracelet
3. Catalog button flowers
 4. Envelopes from catalog pages
I've repinned these ideas and others on my ...

Gail Christofferson, a Delphi educational customer for many years, is leading a student/community based project for Ostego Elementary, a new elementary school (home of the knights) in the Ostego area of Ohio.
More than 1,000 students of all grade levels, as well as more than 300 community members, have participated in creating a large-scale mosaic mural measuring 7 feet high and 20 feet long.
The year-long project, "Mosaics by Knights," is intended to be a permanent art installation in the commons area of the new  elementary school.
Members of the Ostego community were asked to submit design ideas, and with local high school art teachers’ guidance, a combination of multiple entries will be used in the finished piece.
Christofferson and her team are in the final stages of student and community involvement, and the project should be installed sometime this spring (2012.)
