What a great idea, and fantastic end products. Loved Stacy’s, and Charlie’s braille. Inspired.
I’ve just watched a DVD about the sad demise of glass factories in Bavaria, and one of the thing that struck me was the creativity of the workers, making artworks during their lunch-breaks and after work.
You obviously can’t keep a good artist down.

OK. Saw the exhibit and I think Andre’s cartoons are my favorites…except for Stacy’s, which just completely blew me away. I love work that interacts with light, and as the tabs break off the shadow and light patterns change…fascinating. (And no, I couldn’t bring myself to break one off.) Definitely worth a visit. But it was all good, solid stuff. Congrats.

Cynthia, when you go to the wonderfully inspiring employee’s show, can you select a piece of Stacey’s “SELECTION” and break it off for me, all the while no one will know it is for me!!!! but don’t tell anyone. O.K. , OH yes , and move one of the glass laddler’s around to face the camera and take a picture, but don’t get caught. Our little secret. Maybe you can even peek at one of the files on Geraldine’s desk. Hmmm! that might be abit much.
Wonderful show. !!!! I am tipping a glass of wine , (oh I know it is only 8:00 in the morning, !!!!!!!!) but no one can see me. WEll done to all.

Thankyou for sharing this event and for the slideshow of Mary-Kay’s great images which allowed us to feel as if we were actually there. The impact of these inspiring works are already being felt across the pond; as a Bullseye dealer, we have always encouraged our staff to learn about kilnwork, make their own pieces and have free use of the studio and materials in their spare time. This morning, we had our usual Tuesday morning “10@10″ (10 minutes at 10am) when we chew the fat, touch base with each other and generally make sure that we all know what’s going on and I played the slideshow which was met with gasps of awe and delight (and that was just Corinna’s lovely new baby!) So inspired were the team that they have decided we should run our own “in-house” exhibition of our work sob “Bring it on!”
