The human form as a theme in glass art of all kinds is the subject of an exhibit at Flame Run contemporary art glass studio from February 6 to March 28. An opening night reception begins at 6 p.m.

The show called “The Human Formed” was inspired by the work of Susie Slabaugh White, who owns the studio and hot shop with her husband, Brook White. Susie said she hatched the idea when she noticed human forms as a recurring theme in the work of glass artists she admired.

“I have worked with the human form for years, and I continue to explore its definition. The Human Formed has not only to do with defining lines but with the soul and inner dimension of each subject.” Slabaugh White said.

The show includes works by Brook White and Susie Slabaugh White. Nine additional artists have been invited to participate:

Eoin Breadon of Cleveland, OH (confirmed)
Stephanie Trenchard, of Sturgeon Bay, WI (confirmed)
Slate Grove of Spruce Pine, NC (confirmed)
Paul Nelson of Louisville, KY (confirmed)
Matthew Cummings of Normal, IL (confirmed)
Ross Richmond of Seattle, WA (confirmed)
Casey McMains of Jericho, VT
Carrie Battista of Cleveland, OH
Dave Walters of Seattle, WA
