The Washington Glass School has three directors who are coming to Charlottesville to display various glass art pieces. The Washington Glass School serves as a mid-Atlantic mecca for glass loving artists. Their mission:
introduce artists in other media to the depth, processes and joys of glass
Tim Tate, Erwin Timmers and Michael Janis, very well known in the glass arts world, will open their exhibit in the Migration Gallery on April 4th from 5:30- 8:00pm. Make sure to ask them lots of questions.
