“I want people to be overwhelmed with light and color in some way that they’ve never experienced.” –
Dale Chihuly

Greetings,

A big thank you, again, to Aaron Tate and his team, Gabby and Sharon, for demoing for Open Studio Night! It was an ambitious goal to create a bird holding a bowl. So much so that they started creating the parts 3 hours before our normal start time. To see images from the evening click
HERE.

Thank you to everyone that come out to the Ice Cream Social. We appreciate your support, helping us empty the furnace, and raising some funds to help with studio improvements. Thank you to Melt Ice Creams for the awesome ice cream! Thank you also to our staff and volunteers for your help! Thank you to our sponsors
Mitzi Lemons of Coldwell Banker Residential Mortgage,
The Loop – Artist Rehearsal Complex
,
Fairmount National Historic District, and
Hutson Creative for your sponsorship and support!

Just because the glass blowing studio will be closed till September(for maintenance) doesn’t mean that you can still play with glass. Our flame working and kiln forming studios will have classes throughout the rest of the summer.

Our August Open Studio Night will feature flame working demos with our boro flame working instructor Nick Gomez.

If you’re really needing a glass blowing fix, check out Netflix’s show
Blown Away. It’s a glass blowing reality show with some really skilled artists. It’s a fun watch!

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

Open Studio Night

August 12th | 6p-9p

Flame Working Demos

Featured Artists: Nick Gomez with Nathan Pouch

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.
