Around every corner in Glencairn, visitors encounter stunning examples of early 20th-century craftsmanship—in metal, stained glass, mosaic, stone, and wood. Craftsmanship at Glencairn: Five Artists is a guided tour and exhibit that explores the work of five artists who worked at Glencairn, the castle-like home built by Raymond Pitcairn for his family (completed in 1939). Well over one hundred artists, architects, and laborers contributed to its construction and decoration, which took more than a decade to complete. Without the efforts of all of them working together, the Pitcairn’s remarkable home could not have become a reality. 
Pitcairn had previously established a variety of workshops adjacent to the building site of Bryn Athyn Cathedral (dedicated 1919), including an architectural studio, a modeling shop, a metal shop, a stained-glass studio and glassworks, a stone shop, and a wood shop. These same shops—and many of the same artists—were also used to create artwork for Glencairn. This guided tour, which will explore the Great Hall and Upper Hall on the first floor, the main bedroom on the third floor, the Chapel on the fifth floor, and the observation deck at the top of the tower, will introduce visitors to works by Parke E. Edwards (metalwork), Winfred S. Hyatt (stained glass), Robert G. Glenn (mosaic), Benjamin A. Tweedale (stone carving), and Frank Jeck (woodcarving).

The Greater Philadelphia Expo Center & Fairgrounds

33 Years and Still Going Strong – The Pennsylvania National Quilt Extravaganza Returns to the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center September 17 – 20, 2026Oaks, PA – Mancuso Show Management is proud to present the 33rd annual Pennsylvania National Quilt Extravaganza. The Greater Philadelphia Expo Center will host this spectacular event September 17 - September 20, 2026 featuring over 1000 works of textile art. Additionally, the festival offers vendors, hands on workshops, lectures, a fashion show and product demos. Pennsylvania National Quilt Extravaganza is the center of it all for quilt, wearable and textile art! A highlight of this year’s event is a special exhibition by 7-time Tony Award-winning actor and playwright Harvey Fierstein. Best known for writing La Cage aux Folles and Kinky Boots and starring as Edna in Hairspray, Harvey has been making quilts for more than 30 years. During the COVID lockdown, his passion for quilting flourished, inspiring a remarkable collection of quilt art that the Extravaganza is thrilled to premiere. In addition, the festival will display over 30 special exhibitions from regional guilds such as the Philadelphia Modern Quilt Guild, PieceMakers Quilters and the Sankofa Artisans, travelling quilt collections and the annual national judged competition. Once again Mancuso Show Management sponsored the juried exhibition, Celebration of Women: A Quilter’s Perspective with a portion of the entry fees going to A Woman’s Place (AWP), the only domestic violence community benefit organization in Bucks County, PA. Shopping is a must at the event Merchant’s Mall with a diverse assortment of vendors selling sewing machines, fabric, wool, clothing, notions and more. Attendees can sit in on, at no additional charge, several midday lectures and product demonstrations. Back by popular demand are Fashion Friday, an attendee-driven fashion show, and Sticker Saturday, where collecting stickers can earn you a prize. New this year, the Brandywine Rug Hooking Guild will offer rug hooking demonstrations throughout the event. Quilters and textile artists can also preregister for workshops taught by a nationally recognized faculty. This year’s event is sponsored by Major Sponsors: BERNINA/Hayes Sewing Machine Company, BERNINA Longarm/Domesticity, Brother/Byrne Sewing, Baby Lock/Hayes Sewing Machine Company, Janome/Pocono Sew &amp; Vac and Husqvarna Viking &amp; Pfaff/Sew ‘n Place. Open to the public, show tickets can be purchased on-site. General admission is $18 and includes re-admission for all days. Sunday only general admission is $16. Accompanied children under the age of 16 are admitted free. Discounted tickets for groups of 20 or more can be arranged by contacting our office at (215) 862-5828. The Extravaganza’s daily hours are Thursday through Saturday 10:00 am to 5:00 pm and Sunday 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.

Doering Center

Saturday, October 3, 10, 17, and 24 
In this four-day workshop—held on four consecutive Saturdays—participants will learn the fundamentals of traditional stained-glass painting. Working from a photographic reference, students will create their own painted glass panel using historic techniques such as tracing, matting, and silver staining, with opportunities to add personal creative touches. Finished pieces will be kiln-fired to permanently fuse the paint to the glass, then framed in lead and fitted with hooks for display in a window.
Other notes: 
·This workshop will be held at the Doering Center at Bryn Athyn College. 
·Previous experience with drawing or painting is preferable. 
·Please wear closed-toe shoes. 
·Note that attendees will be looking down at a light table for most of class.
Food and drink cannot be consumed in the stained-glass classroom but can be consumed in the main lobby areas of the Doering Center. Attendees are welcome to bring a snack to enjoy during the break and recommended to bring a water bottle with a tightly fitting lid.
