Glass Blowing Demonstration, Glass Engraving
and Painting Workshop, Offered by Homewood House Museum
Learn how to engrave and paint glass, and watch a
glassblower create unique art
during "Glass is a Blast," a demonstration and workshop,
sponsored by the Homewood
House Museum.
The workshop and visit to Baltimore artisan Anthony Corradetti's
Hollins Market glass
studio is offered in conjunction with the museum's exhibit
Bubble to Bottle, Pontil to
Prism: Early Glass in Maryland, 1785 - 1835, and will take
place from 11 a.m. to 4
p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 5. Participants will meet at the museum
located on the campus of
the Johns Hopkins University, 3400 N. Charles Street in
Baltimore.
During the first part of the day, the museum will provide
tours of the exhibit and
workshops allowing participants to learn glass engraving and
painting techniques that can
be used on everyday glass objects. A drinking glass will be
provided for participants to
work on and take home. A tour of the exhibition is included with
the workshop. Bring a
bag lunch, light refreshments are provided.
Then, in two shifts at 2 and 3 p.m., participants will
travel via car pool to
Corradetti's studio and gallery to observe glass-blowing
techniques. Corradetti, who
studied under Dale Chihuly, a world renowned glassblower, is
known for his interesting
use of primary colors in making utilitarian works of art.
Tickets for "Glass is a Blast" are $15 for museum members
and children, and $18
for adults. This program is not recommended for children under
