Whatcha doing Friday? It's First Friday and do we have some fun planned - it's the Kids Draw It & We Make It Event! We've had kids submit drawings over the last few months and our artists have choosen the work they are going to create in glass! Every hour a new artist will step up, using the kids drawing for inspiration & 2000º molten glass as the material! Thank you Ruby, Millie, Lincoln, Gio & Ezzie for your fabulous ideas! Artist Jeremy Hansen is on at 4pm making a snail & snake combo, Amanda Paffrath is up at 5pm with a sunflower vase, John VanKoningsveld creates his version of a glass chocolate covered donut at 6pm and Daniel Sviland shows how he 'rolls up' a flat fused glass panel into a 3 dimensional vase at 7pm with the sun ray and wave design. Don't miss this incredible night of demonstrations!
