Ongoing Kids Design Glass: The First Generation features 50 of the first Kids Design Glass sculptures. Beyond its unique appearance, a Kids Design Glass piece embraces the symbiotic relationship between designer and glassblower in a new way. Without a technical understanding of the constraints of glass as a medium, these child-designers challenge the Hot Shop Team to explore new kinds of precision that requires the abandonment of glassblowing norms. Field Notes: Artists Observe Nature references the practice of natural historians to record observations encountered while actually being in nature. The works on display show how the innately curious exhibiting artists have trained their prodigious skills in glass to honor the natural world.
