Visitors listened to a project overview, viewed demonstrations of parts being made and we are able to purchase their own souvenir brooch, assembled on the spot. This presented an exclusive opportunity to be a part of this award-winning project and invest in the cultural life of Melbourne.

February 2009	Yom Hashoah Ritual Sash has been acquired by the Corning Museum of Glass. "I am so pleased that Yom Hashoah Ritual Sash is a part of the collection of The Corning Museum of Glass. What I appreciate most in all forms of art in glass--even in jewellery-- is the idea, the content. I was immediately drawn to Blanche's work for its consummate craftsmanship and well thought-out and sensitive concepts. Her objects adorn, but they are also suffused with meaning." Tina Oldknow, Curator, Modern Glass, Corning Museum of Glass
