“I typically work with simple themes and forms, and often employ subtle silhouettes when making my totems. It is a pleasure seeing inanimate objects taking on a life of their own. The more narrative work is usually a personal expression or a means of processing a life event, often with a underlying statement.” –
Dan Friday

Greetings,

Thanks to every one that came out to the February Open Studio Night. Thanks to Tatara for demoing and the Beignet Bus for the great food and drinks. Images from the evening can be seen

Our annual fundraiser, Vitro Moda 12 is this month! In just a few short days we will be transforming The Ostruem in to our glass vision. We are excited to have Mark Leputa as our featured guest artist. Originally from Pittsburgh, and currently working in Alabama at Orbix Hot Glass, Mark’s sculptures reflect the influences of nature where simplicity, purity of form, and negative space is merged to meet harmony. We will also have a week long intensive class with Mark the week leading up to Vitro Moda. Links for ticketing for both Mark’s class and Vitro Moda can be found below.

Thank you to The Loop, Cat City Grill, The Ostreum, Cadillac Wines,
Leforce Entertainment
and Elevated Content for your support!

Last year we started offering scheduled workshops in the glass blowing studio featuring items from Walkup Workshops. This year we are offering the same option in our kiln forming and flame working studios. The next group of these workshop are up on our site. You can check them out
