Transitions: The Evolution of Kiln-glass

Virtual Lecture

Thursday, May 12, 2022 7:00-8:00pm 

 

Ticket Price: FREE; Suggested donation of $5

 

Join Michael Endo, juror and curator of Tg: Transitions in Kiln-glass, for a presentation that explores the changing landscape of kiln-glass and the evolution from Emerge—the precursor of the current exhibition—into this new expanded form. Endo will discuss the history of Bullseye Glass, which originated from the Bellevue Arts & Crafts Fair (now BAM Arts Fair), and the myriad directions in which kiln-glass is headed. 

 

A Zoom link will be sent out over email in advance of the lecture.
