Hot glass flows with a natural fluidness that has captured contemporary imaginations. The next generation of glass artists is bringing a fresh look to this ancient medium creating aquatic creatures and natural plant life. Kaviar Forge & Gallery brings Andrew Jackson Pollack and Jennifer Umphress’ flamework glass creations to Louisville for the first time. Mr. Pollack and Ms. Umphress have an affinity for capturing the essence of nature in their representational sculptural pieces with color, form, and elegance through one hot torch! Their technique, lampworking (also known as torch- or flame- worked glass) is one of the oldest glass making techniques and historically was fashioned in the flame of an oil lamp where nowadays it is commonly produced by using torches run on various fuels such as propane and natural gas. “Nature’s Semblance” is a combination of hanging as well as freestanding sculptural works, functional home accessories, and jewelry. Join us for the dual glass exhibition “Nature’s Semblance” on the FAT Friday Trolley Hop, July 30, 2010 from 6-9 PM for refreshments and great glass art.
