August 17 – 7pm: Carol Milne – Glass Knitting

Carol Milne is the lone pioneer in the field of knitted glass.   Pushing the limits of her material through persistent and relentless experimentation. Determined to combine her passion for knitting with her love for cast glass sculpture, she developed a variation of the lost wax casting process to cast knitted work in glass. “I see my knitted work as metaphor for social structure. Individual strands are weak and brittle on their own, but deceptively strong when bound together.  You can crack or break single threads without the whole structure falling apart.  And even when the structure is broken, pieces remain bound together. The connections are what bring strength and integrity to the whole and what keep it intact.”

Mon., Nov. 16, 7 pm—Monthly meeting. Steve Immerman on zoom.

Steve says of his art, “Because of my passion for photography, my mind’s eye views the world as if I am looking through a camera. As opposed to the precision and realism of photography my glass art is abstract. Although my art always has geometric design elements, the geometry is often juxtaposed with chaotic design elements. My goal is to create objects of beauty and to enjoy the process of their creation.” More info here .
