9/26 Athenaeum at 1pm - Studio Art Glass Movement

Athenaeum, Wednesday, September 26, 2007 at 1:00pm

Please join us on Wednesday, September , at 1pm for the Library Athenaeum titled: Studio Art Glass Movement.

Cathy and Steve Richardson will discuss "the art of blown class was a semi-moribund until the 1960s, when it went through a revival that continues today. Modern glass artists use an array of tools, techniques, and glass formulas that have been either developed or re-invented over the past 40 years. The result has been a dramatic rise in the popularity of glass both in large public installations (Dale Chihuly) and in functional and decorative sculpture. Steve and Cathy will show examples of different styles of finished work as well as descriptions and photos of the blowing process --some of which is done here at their Winona Studio." --SR

Please join us on Wednesday at 1pm on the second floor of the Krueger Library.

Any way to include Italian Maestro Lino Tagliapietra and his influence on American glass in the exhibit? Just wondering. More on Tagliapietra and Dale Chihuly at http://www.squidoo.com/art_glass.
