"The Pipe Classic included talent from all over the Northeast and was a success beyond anyone's expectations. The competition caused each participant to push their personal limits, and the support everyone had for each other was unprecedented. It was more of a celebration than a competition, as the final pieces refelected the diverse personalities behind each creation. A range of different styles, from the traditional to the conceptual, mixed with some crazy new school funk, left the judging up in the air." - written by Marble Slinger, C.C. Magazine
"I was so impressed by everyone's unique art, but even more so by the ageless interaction of the artists," Pipe Classic 2007's second place winner, Jason Lee "We've come so far from the uptight world of glass I entered in my youth! Thanks so much to the Bern crew for the vision and will to make this even a reality, It was an inspiring success."
