Guest Artist Residency: Dante Germain
We are excited to invite our deeply respected friend, Dante Germain, to our Hot Shop studio to blow glass and showcase his work.
Artist Statement by Dante:
Design intrigues me because of the influence it has on the way we feel, what we communicate or how we act.
Glass intrigues me because of the fragile, unforgiving but rewarding process it presents. A medium that poses continuous exploration with ongoing challenges.
Pattern intrigues me because of the arrangement of lines, whether organic or methodical, the viewers eye can be moved through or along the work. The fluidity of glass in its molten state gives me the ability to twist and manipulate linear patterns into a three-dimensional canvas.
Schedule:
Wed, Feb 24: Dante and Jake, our Studio Manager, will be blowing glass after hours on this day. We will be live streaming this on our Facebook so be sure to watch these two experts work together on some amazing new pieces for our gallery.
Thurs, Feb 25: Starting in the afternoon, Dante will be creating more pieces in the Hot Shop. He will narrate his work so be sure to stop in and watch someone new in our studio. We will be Live Streaming some of his work on this day, so keep watch on Facebook.
Friday, Feb 26: Stop in the gallery to see the art release of the amazing pieces created during this residency. We will be creating a new display for Dante's work made in our own studio.
Guest Artist Residency: Tynan Pratumwon
We are excited to invite our deeply respected friend, Ty Pratumwon, to our Hot Shop studio to blow glass and showcase his work.
About Ty:
Tynan Pratumwon, an accomplished glass artist, has spent a lot of time traveling and learning. As a young man he lived in Iowa, Minnesota, Thailand and as a Rotary exchange student in the Faroe Islands. Forever attracted to the arts, Tynan was attracted to drawing, sculpture, and ceramics until he tried glassblowing at the University of Wisconsin - River Falls. He immediately became attached to the material and began to learn as much as he could. He gained experience and inspiration traveling and working as a student at places like the Corning Museum of Glass.
Ty specializes in his own style of glass basket as well as his Venetian style of glassware. The baskets are an idea that began in a time of high stress and contemplation for Ty. The idea was to make a piece that held a pattern reminiscent of a woven basket, complete it with a texture that needed to be touched and then sculpted to fold like fabric. The form prior to sculpting is symmetrically round, the ideal of most vessels. In the final moments of working, the lip is pushed into the finished form, taking away the perfection of the round. The pieces offered me a kind of stress relief through the final sculpting, and continue to give me incredible opportunities to experiment with new colors and their touchable surfaces.
Currently working out of FOCI Minnesota Center for Glass Art, and Vandalia glass where he focuses on using the knowledge he has gained to create beautiful handmade objects to be used in everyday practice.
Schedule:
