Glass Art

I love glass art.  I love watching it being made.  I own all the art that I can inside our small place.  It's secured in areas that gets special lighting and the pieces are unique.  For those of you just joining this blog, you may not be aware that we have 5 little balls of fur that roam our household.  One of them, accidentally during some playtime with her sibling, smashed an expensive piece on the floor.  She was okay and I am glad that she wasn't hurt, but it taught me an important lesson.  Fasten all glassware down around the house.  And so it was done.

On a cold day in Jerome, we went to the warm studios at the Raku Gallery where we watched this art in progress.  There are some things that relax the mind and this was one of them. 

This artist was excellent.  He was direct, no nonsense and full of information on his craft.  Some of his words also held bigger meanings. As a teacher, I liked his style and found him to be one of those straight forward characters that held my attention during his presentation. 

Taking a break from the busy streets of Jerome allowed for some time to just sit down, listen, and absorb.

I have a new appreciation for this art and I had a great time watching this demonstration.  A special thank you for opening your doors to educate us on a beautiful craft.  Demonstrations run throughout the day until around 5'ish.
