NANCY CALLAN: It's all about fun ... and big glass balls. Courtesy photo
SNOWMAN BLOW 2012 >>>
Last year glass artist Nancy Callan put on a sliver apron and created snowmen at the Museum of Glass. It's true. There are photos. The snowmen are made of glass, standing three feet tall.
And just as the snow returned to Tacoma; so did Callan. She's in MOG's Hot Shop making snowmen again.
Daily through Dec. 23, Callan will work as an artist in residence. Along with pieces from her regular series, Callan will create said snowmen with snowball on the snowmen bodies can be up to 18 to 20 inches in diameter.
Callan works with a variety of shapes in her regular series of works - spinning tops, bumble-bee-inspired shapes, genie lamps and some very cool clouds.
"I am influenced by the bright colors and inflated shapes found in comic books and toys, and by the playful spirit of the unconscious mind," says Callan in her Artist Statement. "While creating each piece, I try to balance the fluidity of hot glass with the sense of wonder and fun I felt the first time I gathered from the furnace."
At 1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 22 she will also give a public talk and slide show.
MUSEUM OF GLASS, THROUGH DEC. 23, 10 A.M. TO 5 P.M. THRUSDAY-SATURDAY, NOON TO 5 P.M. SUNDAY, $5-$12, 1801 DOCK ST., TACOMA, 866.468.7386
