“Our glass prints are a natural fit for this event, which celebrates the unique artistry of glass in our region,” said Flora Sanders, assistant product line manager for MASTERPIX.  “We are excited to showcase a distinctive, lasting way for GlassFest attendees to preserve their favorite memories on specialty glass.”
 
MASTERPIX prints your favorite photos on thin, durable Corning® Gorilla® Glass using UV-cured inks so your photos remain vibrant with long-lasting color for years to come.  Manufactured using Corning’s proprietary fusion draw process, Gorilla Glass is optically clear, tough, scratch-resistant, stain-resistant, thin and lightweight, which makes it a great choice for preserving cherished moments.  By visiting the MASTERPIX website, www.MASTERPIX.com, consumers can create glass prints in sizes ranging from 5 inches by 7 inches to as large as 16 inches by 24 inches.  MASTERPIX glass prints can be displayed in a table top stand, hung on the wall, or used in standard picture frames.
 
Coleen Fabrizi, Executive Director for Corning’s Gaffer District said, “We are thrilled to have MASTERPIX return as our featured partner for the GlassFest Scavenger Hunt. The Scavenger Hunt participants love exploring our downtown businesses as they try to win spectacular prizes. There is no doubt that a chance to win a beautiful MASTERPIX print will continue the excitement around the GlassFest Scavenger Hunt!”
