Heisy collector and Quester Caroline Jensen will highlight examples from the Iowa Quester Glass Collection and her personal collection of Heisey.

Caroline Jensen from the Denver area is a glass artist, Heisey collector and Quester. She will present a program on the over 60 years of Heisey glass production in the U.S. in conjunction with the exhibition Reflections of Iowa: The History of Iowa Questers through Glass. In operation from 1896-1957, Heisey owed its beauty to an excellent glass formula, high quality raw materials, and to the way their glassware was finished.
