“Functional objects are tools we use every day of our lives; when these tools are individually made from elemental raw materials they bring us back to the earth – they serve as a grounding symbol. Making, using and presenting these forms is a constant reminder that we live with the earth, not on it.”
Leckie Gassman

Greetings,

April started off with Open Streets, a neighborhood festival that temporarily closes streets to automobile traffic, so that people may use them for walking, bicycling, playing, and socializing. We offered kids the opportunity blow up glass as much as they could before it got too cold or popped. It was a lot fun and we had a great turn out.

Many thanks to Hannah Smith and Ruby Dorchester for being our featured artists for our April Open Studio Night. They incorporated their printing backgrounds into blown glass work to create some very unique imagery. Images from the evening can be seen
HERE.

Don’t forget that we will have our annual Ice Cream Social Fundraiser on July 13th from 12-3. We will have ice cream from Melt Ice Creams, offer sand casting workshops, and will be crushing last years donation cone. More information can be found
HERE.

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.
