Tina Yelle describes raising money for NYEGW. Oral history interview with Tina Yelle by Catherine Whalen, conducted via telephone, April 30, 2019, Bard Graduate Center. Clip length: 00:55.

Tina Yelle: And the other thing is, that looking at some of those workshop photos and so on, I don’t think I can take credit for inviting all of these really great, interesting people to the workshop. [clears throat] I was the mechanics person in the background, raising the money making things happen in that way, but I didn’t say, ‘Oh, we should have Gianni Toso come.’ It was the people who had a deep connection in history with glass that wanted Gianni Toso or whomever to come, and made that kind of thing happen. But I think that people who came like that enjoyed the vibe of New York and the art world in the eighties and in the nineties.
