Saturday, March 30th from 4-6PM at Glass Axis (1341 Norton Avenue)

Check out this artists spunky and carefree characters and sculptures as each piece has been part of a coping mechanism for her love life throughout her ’20 something’ stage of life. The graphic and blatant subject matter tells the story of loves lost in different situations, but expressed from an animalistic point of view. “I see myself as one of these silly creatures, getting caught up in yet another frivolous yet heart-breaking relationship.” says Emlyn.

Emlyn started blowing glass in 2010 at Bowling Green State University, where she later graduated with her BFA in glass and metal smithing. In 2013, she was offered the technician apprenticeship at the Pittsburgh Glass Center, where she really began developing her hot sculpting aesthetic. She currently works at the Glass Center as an instructor. Her work has been exhibited throughout the Middle West, including the Toledo Museum of Art.

Every last Saturday of the month Glass Axis host a free demonstration giving you a step by step process on creating glass art

This month’s demonstration artists if Nicki Strouss, she will be experimenting with different materials to make blow molds as well as plaster molds. She will make a number of forms that will be incorporated into a mixed media sculpture.

About Nicki: As a member of the Ohio Art League, she likes to work from a variety of materials that such as wax, clay, wool, security envelopes, glass, etc. Her decision to use a variety of materials and process helps vary and enforce the experience and interpretation of the repeated forms at the same time enhancing the visual and physical texture of the pieces. Some forms appear fragile, as if cracking eggs and others look as strong as weathered stones; all forms are linked by tactility.
