The Glass Blowing Place is an artist’s dream place. It is both a first-class gallery and a learning place for the visual arts. The new gallery space is a venue for regional artists’ creations and is the exclusive sales venue for the output of Glengarry Glass Blowing.
While glass blowing is the principal educational experience offered, but there will also be classes in jewelry making, painting and drawing, stained glass and the lapidary arts.
Glengarry Glass Blowing ( http://glengarry-glass-blowing.com ), the primary artists’ group in residence, is comprised of Canadian masters David Paterson, Chris Van Zanten, Eric Covington and Murano Master Gian Paolo Bastianello. These artists will demonstrate the process of making their stunning glass art during the Grand Opening party on Saturday and Sunday, May 19 and 20.
Other artists, Jenny McBride (wire wrapped jewelry), Julie Laframboise (stained
glass) and Ken McBride (lapidary art) will also demonstrate their art.
