You won't want to miss this opportunity to get to know a very interesting artist and his work, and also this will be your last chance to visit with your Arizona Glass Alliance friends until the fall. Matthew is particularly known for his unique "pillow" work, which looks like it's been blown up . . .

On Monday evening, March 20, Arizona Glass Alliance will very happily host a presentation by glass sculptor Grant Garmezy. Born and raised on a working farm just outside Nashville, Tennessee, Grant’s interest in animals and natural forms is reflected in his beautiful glass sculptures. Since 2009 Grant has operated his own studio . . .

We will lead off March with a presentation by a very well known and respected glass sculptor, Stephan Cox. Stephan is very much appreciated for his iconic sculptures, which are fantastical, strange and rare, but at the same time fun and whimsical. . . .

On Monday evening, we will host a unique presentation by Suzanne Perrault, partner in Rago/Wright/Toomey Auctions and star of the well known PBS show, Antiques Roadshow.  This will be a great opportunity to learn all the ins and outs of the secondary art markets, how to deal with an auction house, and great "war stories" from Antiques Roadshow.  . . .

Arizona glass member Sandy Pendleton is one of four artist showcased at the upcoming exhibition at the Philabaum Gallery. The opening reception is Saturday, February 4, and the show runs through June. Read more about the process behind Sandy Pendleton's "Story Basket Series" . . . 

Arizona glass member Cynthia Miller, has an installation of her work on display in the Tucson airport. . . 

Craig will be in Arizona to teach classes at Warren Norgaard's Milkweed Studio, and we thank Warren for facilitating this presentation.

Craig is very well known for his beautiful floral creations, both in gallery size pieces as well as major installations in botanical gardens.

Arizona Glass Alliance members will travel to a great glass destination, Pittsburgh, on April 12-15.  As usual, we’ll arrive on Wednesday (April 12) in time for our opening dinner, spend three full days meeting wonderful artists, seeing great museums and glass and craft centers and visiting outstanding private collections . . .
