As an artistic medium, glass creates magic! From inspiration to creation process to finished piece, glass evokes emotions. Nearly everyone feels drawn to glass and is fascinated by its illusiveness.
Glass Artists are adventurers; revampers of centuries-old techniques, creators of new ones; tamers of the wild chameleon that is glass; sorcerors who transform and liberate the magic of glass!
This event will provide the public with a variety of opportunities to view a diverse selection of glass art and to experience and discover all that goes into its creation.
The Glass Art Festival features an array of events during the month of September 2010. These include:
- Transcendence – the Magic of Glass: an exhibition of contemporary glass art, a combination of juried art show and educational exhibits
Artist: Steven Wrubleski
- Glass Alley: a venue for a select few glass artists and suppliers to display and sell their art and/or products
- Demonstrations: aspects of glass art creation, demystified
- Artist Talks: accomplished contemporary glass artists sharing their passions and their journeys
- Workshops: learn glass art techniques in more depth and/or get started in the world of glass art
- Glass Around: see more glass in various locations around the City of Sequim
