museum of glass

Since we were over on that side of the state we decided a stop at the museum of glass in tacoma would be nice.   It really is a cool place to see art by many artists and watch some being made.

the shape of the building alone is art the shaft helps with venting and is reminiscent of old smoke stakes from the area



here are a few of my favorite pieces



this piece was inspired by a childs drawing


they have a hot shop where you can watch the whole process



not a great picture but this was absolutely amazing piece.  it combines some etched clay work in it.









the finished pieces this day are being made for a charity auction






a few more pictures in the next post decided there was a bit much for one post
