Glass Art Society Show

"The Glass Art Society is an international non-profit organization founded in 1971 whose purpose is to encourage excellence, to advance education, to promote the appreciation and development of the glass arts, and to support the worldwide community of artists who work with glass."

Two weeks ago, I showed a piece for "Glass Art Society: Alfred Members" at Turner Student Gallery. There were 14 people in the show and it was such a hassle to get everyone together to put up work. It turned out fine, of course, and I even made the event poster. The highlight was Andrew's outdoor performance piece, where glass was ladled out of the hot shop, rushed into the elevator, and then poured into a steel mold outside. We handed out several forks so that our guests could roast marshmallows and make smores. It was delicious!

Ready to pour into the mold.


This stuff is mad heavy. I once tried to ladle one of these and I nearly hit the ground and couldn't get up.


YUM!!

Here is the piece I showed in the corner of the gallery.
