“The thrill never gets old of thwarting the glass’ desire to fall apart, and it’s always a victory when a piece comes together. There is nothing better than the excitement you feel going to work the next day and opening the kiln to see how yesterday’s creation looks. It’s like christmas everyday…..except when the pieces are broken…then it’s sheer heartache.” –
Chris Ahalt

Greetings,

We have had a lot going on at the studio the last few weeks. Between Vitro Moda 11, Spring Gallery Night, and Open Studio Night its nice to get back to our normal programming.

This years Vitro Moda was one of the biggest and best. We had a great variety of glass from some amazingly talented artists. Thank you for making the show come to life. A special thank you to James Akers for being our featured artist. Thank you to our volunteers for all your hard work, and energy. And thank you to 809 at Vickery, Hustson Creative, Rhar and Sons Brewery, Kent & Co and Cadillac Wines, and Cat City Grill for helping sponsor the event! Some images from the event and the workshops with James can be seen
HERE.

We had a lot of fun working with local print artist JackDaw Russell for Spring Gallery Night. We incorporated his linocut print process in glass. There was some trial and error, but we created some fun pieces. Thanks JackDaw for coming to work with us!

A big thank you to Tatara Siegel for being our featured artist for Open Studio Night. She created a pair of potato chip bags that will have details added at a later time. To see some images from the evening click

Thank you for your support. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Join us the second Friday of each month from 6p-9p as we host an
open studio night at SiNaCa. This is your chance to find out more about the “magic” that goes in to creating glass art. As the artist creates their work we give you an interactive play by play, so you can understand better why they do what they do. Our on site gallery showcases our featured artist to give you a close up view of what they create. Its also the perfect time to find out how you can get involved in learning how to work with glass.
