Seeing Clearly- Insights and Visions into Contemporary Glass
Saturday, June 22nd
1:30-3:30 in the community room


Delinda VanneBrightyn and Robert Parker, two well known glass artists in Taos, will offer an after-noon talk on the topic of contemporary studio art glass. There will be a brief survey of ancient glass and techniques, many of which were lost for centuries. The illustrated presentation will focus on what is known as ‘Warm Glass’ including Kiln-formed and Fused Glass, Cast Glass, and Pate de Verre. The talk will celebrate the processes and aesthetics of over 50 years of the studio art glass movement in North America and explore the artists’ prospective into their own works. The speakers will cover the following areas: historical context leading up to the contemporary era , warm glass, cast glass, Pate de Verre Glass (glass paste), fused and slumped glass. Following the talk, there will be an opportunity for the audience to ask questions and discuss ideas.
