February News

“As an artist my focus has been with the vessel. In the vessel, I find the form to be of primary importance. It holds the space. In a sense, the vessel is a “history of my breath”: It contains the volume within. If I have done things correctly, the profile of the piece is a continuous curve; the shape is full, and the opening confident. Color is often the “joy” in making a piece. I want the colors to glow and react with each other…”
SONJA BLOMDAHL

Greetings,

Thanks to every one that came out to the January Open Studio Night. We had fun rolling up murrini, and then creating surface distortion. Images from the evening can be seen
HERE.

Our annual fundraiser, Vitro Moda 12 is just around the corner. This year 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 and Elevated Content for your support!

February may be the shortest month, but we have crammed it full of classes and workshops. In addition to Walkup Workshops check out the Upcoming Events section to see whats on tap.

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 first of these will be a jewelry workshop in kiln forming(info and registration
HERE) and a heart work shop in flame working(info and registration
HERE).

We look forward to seeing you soon, thank you for your support!

Join us 3/21 for Vitro Moda 12!

This year we will be at The Ostreum, 108 South Freeway

#Suite 130.
