From the Flame: Juried Flamework Exhibition
June 29, 2019 - October 6, 2019
Harris - Burger GalleryFrom the Flame is a juried exhibition that showcases the tremendous range and vitality of flamework as an art form. The artists included in this exhibition come from across the country, as near as southeast Michigan and as far as southern California. Some have been in the field for years—working, writing, and teaching— while others are breaking through with innovative concepts and laying the foundation for the next generation. Flamework (also known as lampworking and torchworking) is a traditional technique where a torch or lamp is used directly to melt glass. Once in a molten state, the glass is formed by blowing and shaping with tools and hand movements.
Between now and October 6th visit the exhibition and vote for your favorite artwork. You can cast your ballot one time per visit, so stop in often! The winner of the People’s Choice will receive an award as will the juror-selected winners of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.
Mark your calendar for the Exhibition Reception on Friday, September 27th from 5:30-8:30pm. The evening will include an awards ceremony, a reception with a cash bar, open museum galleries, and exciting demos in the Hot Shop. This event is FREE and open to the public.
