TOTALLY
AMAZING GLASS!! is an “in-your-face” interactive
hot glass experience. All the elements of studio glassworking are
set up on your stage, in your schoolyard, at your convention, gallery
opening, craft fair, wine festival or private party. British Columbia’s
most skilled glassblowers demonstrate over two thousand years of
technique using molten glass from an electric furnace reheated in
a gas fired glory hole. Wine glasses, vases, paperweights, perfume
bottles, bowls, flowers and plates appear before your eyes in the
space of ten to twenty minutes. A live commentary and audience participation
complete each unique show.
Since its inception at Science World in
1998, audience response has been tremendous. The show can travel
around BC and includes instructional workshops for complete beginners.
Your local school, art college, museum, community centre or church
group could profit from a visit by Totally Amazing Glass!! For the
past nine years, Circle Craft’s Christmas
market at the Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre has included up to
fourteen guest artists in its TAG show.
TAG is the first of its kind in
Canada and has also been featured at Whistler Village and Nelson
Streetfest. Contact us for more details.
