Sea Glass Hunter’s Handbook

Our friend Carole Lambert of the Sea Glass Chronicles has done it again! In November, you can look for the Sea Glass Hunters’s Handbook from Down East Books. Here’s the gist of it:

The perfect guide for both seasoned and novice “seaglunkers,” the Sea Glass Hunter’s Handbook reveals how to locate the best beaches and predict optimum conditions; understand coastal access laws; determine the personal and professional value of sea glass; and identify the source of individual fragments. Sea glass connects civilization and nature, often in surprising ways. This guide investigates how tiny bits of glass and ceramic have engaged generations of avid collectors throughout the world.  For more information, visit Down East.

Overheard

“Every shard of sea glass that washes up on the shore is the result of chemistry and chance. A bottle or bowl, lost at sea, is buffeted by waves and scrubbed by sand for decades, even centuries. Eventually, a crystalline surface develops on the glass and the edges of the pottery turn smooth as bone, a reminder of humanity’s ability to create and nature’s power to erode. Jacqueline Ganim-DeFalco gathers these jewels and, at her Cape Ann Designs studio in Gloucester, arranges pieces of beer-bottle amber against the elusive ship-light red to produce tableaus on brooches and hair accessories. While “mechanically assisted” sea glass is widely manufactured, Ganim-DeFalco uses only material that has gained its beauty on the ocean floor.”
