Glassometry Studios prides itself in being a place of constant creative change with an interest in sharing our art and education with the community. Expect rotating exhibitions in the gallery and events quarterly that revolve around holidays or the seasonal changes. We love to throw parties so be sure to get on the email list to be invited.
Grand Opening, November 6 2010
After a year of construction and planning, Glassometry Studios opened its doors to the public on November 6, 2010. The open house ran from 11-6pm and had a steady stream of interested people who enjoyed a gallery of art to explore, food and wine to partake in, and educational glass blowing demos to watch. We couldn’t have asked for a more enjoyable day. The crew of volunteers worked into the night and we were all rewarded with a wonderfully relaxed opening. Thank you to all of you that helped make that day so rewarding.
“Blow Your Own Ornament” in Partnership with the Columbia Center for the Arts
Only weeks later, Glassometry Studios partnered with the Columbia Center for the Arts to host a holiday “Blow Your Own Ornament” Event. A portion of the proceeds from ornament sales went to the Columbia Arts. We had a wonderful time with families, couples, and friends who had the opportunity to not only make beautiful Christmas presents, but also get their hands on the glass. Individuals were able to make two kinds of ornaments and frequently made it a family outing. The enthusiasm and positive cheer made the events rewarding for us as well as those participating. We look forward to next year when we get to meet more of our neighbors for the holidays.
“Love Your Life”
Valentine’s Event Feb 12, 2011 6-10pm
With a turn out of apx 100 people, Glassometry Studios celebrated its daily ideals of “Loving Your Life” by sharing music, food, wine, dance, art, and the process of glass blowing with the party attendees. With the studio decorated and lit by candles and fire, the night exuded romance, creativity, no to mention down right sexy industrialism. Laurel and her team, dressed to the nines, performed hot glass demons by the dim light of the fire they were working with the sound of acoustic jazz in the background.
Over 100 people joined us for a candle lit evening of live music, desserts, art, wine, belly dancing, and hot glass demonstrations. It was a wonderful evening bursting with creativity and people sharing in the romance.
“Blossom Fest BBQ”
April 16-17 we had a great time celebrating “Blossom Fest” by having an Open House. We blew glass all day for people to watch, served BBQ, beer, and wine. We had seating for everyone to get comfortable for the demos and eating. At least 300 people come through the gallery and studio that weekend and we all had a great time.
Mystery Tour with Community Ed
In April we were the destination for the Community Ed Mystery Tour. We had a group of 15 or more senior citizens along with John Rust and Cindy Williams come for a tour. We led them through the different departments explaining the different processes. Lunch from Saw Tooth Roadhouse was enjoyed while we created several blown glass works of art before them. We all had a great time sharing. Thank you Ruth for the book!
If you would like to plan an event or outing to the studio, even participate in making some of your own art glass, feel free to contact us and we are happy to be helpful.
