Fran Taylor started Gay Fad Studios in 1939 with a personal investment of $30. Her immediate success painting metal wastepaper baskets started her meteoric rise. In 1945, Taylor moved the company from Michigan to Lancaster, Ohio.

Join David and Jason Annecy, current owners of Gay Fad Studios in Lancaster as they share the story of the woman who blazed a pioneering trail in midcentury glassware and shattered norms one glass at a time.

This event is free and open to the public. Gay Fad Studio’s beautiful midcentury modern glassware will be available for purchase after the talk!
