Vetro Glassblowing Studio hosts the first annual Celebration of Glass in Grapevine, Texas. The event is free and open to the public and will take place November 22 (4pm – 10pm) in historic Grapevine at Vetro Glassblowing Studio in the Train depot parking lot.

Celebration of Glass showcases glassblowers creating large art glass décor from the furnace, lamp workers creating art glass jewelry on the torch and flame workers creating advanced, detailed hand-blown sculptures.

Glass masters Wil Menzies and Christian Luginger will travel to Dallas to demonstrate their skills to all the artisans as well as the general public and The Grapevine Bead Society will feature art glass jewelry in a silent auction.

“This art form, has been around for thousands of years, is infused within every person’s daily life in ways ranging from science to medicine to utilitarian to pure beauty,” says Gappa. “Celebration of Glass will increase raise awareness, educate and appreciation for such a crucial and intense form of art.”

Additionally, fire fan dancers will be performing during part of the event. In the evening, Vetro will host its well-known “Truth or Consequences Auction” where the artwork either takes the highest bid or else shatters into pieces. Events to take place in the Heritage Center parking lot as well as inside Vetro studio. Light refreshments served.
