Third Degree Glass Factory: Friday, 21 December 2007

Uh-oh. Is that reindeer hooves on the roof? Is Santa coming to party with us? Anything could happen at Third Degree!

Fire performance by Pandora’s Matchbox.

Music: Fave band Trigger 5 begins at 7 p.m.

At Third Degree East Gallery see two fab exhibits --

“Handmade American Music” mixed media paintings with musical themes by Barry Leibman, represented by Philip Slein Gallery and co-owner of Left Bank Books. The paintings create a tactile, handmade sense of the music they represent. And "Talk To Me" by Jim Gruenewald. Glass pieces are exhibited with comment sheets, inviting gallery visitors to share their thoughts about the works. In 2002 Gruenewald saw blown glass pieces at the St. Louis Art Fair and thought he'd like to learn how to blow. He signed up for the first glass class offered at Third Degree that very day at the fair -- and he's been blowing ever since! On view through January 15.

Third Degree Glass Factory, 5200 Delmar, smack dab between University City’s Loop and the Central West End.

PLAY WITH FIRE!
