About the Presenters

Husbands David and Jason Annecy reawakened Gay Fad Studios 60 years since it closed. In three years, the Annecy’s completed two large murals depicting original Gay Fad designs, opened a boutique retail store featuring over 45 exclusive glassware designs, introduced a museum showcasing over 4,000 pieces of original Gay Fad glass, and produced custom glassware for countless nonprofits and small businesses. Through their ongoing efforts they seek to raise visibility for Taylor’s achievements while continuing the company’s mission with newfound joy and creativity. David and Jason met at Kent State University while pursuing their Master’s degrees in Vocational Rehabilitation Counseling and Design Research.
