Things are really heating up at the Chrysler Museum – at least they soon will be with installation of a mobile glass blowing studio in Mary’s Garden. Throughout the month of May, museum visitors will have the chance to watch live glassblowing demonstrations. Wondering exactly what goes into working with molten glass? After watching the artists work, come cool off in the Library and take a look at Glass Notes: a Reference for the Glass Artist by Henry Halem. A glass artist since 1968, Halem’s mastery of his art has been lent to the creation of an in-depth guide to working with glass - everything from colorants to the construction of glass furnaces. Detailed illustrations make even the most complex concepts seem approachable. Halem’s work in glass will also be included in Art of Glass: Generations at the Visual Arts Center, Tidewater Community College May 10th - June 25th, 2009. Stop by and take a look!
