Local Glass History and Design Discussion
Last Meeting Happenings
May's meeting included special guest speaker, Susan Peppel, who led a good discussion about her shop and local glass history. This was super interesting, especially if you are new to glass or not from the Denver area.
Then, we continued discussions from the previous month’s meeting. In many of our meetings, we cross over into other art forms to expand our creative minds, which is great … working in many genres is beneficial to any artist’s work.
Last month, we made homemade paper. This month, we talked about translating the beauty of those papers into glass projects. It was very interesting and thought-provoking.
