THIRD DEGREE EAST GALLERY: Handcrafted Glass Beads: St. Louis Lampworkers Society
September 19 - October 14
Members of the St. Louis Lampworkers Society strut their stuff in this exhibit. Lampworking (also called flameworking) is a type of glasswork that uses a torch to melt rods and tubes of clear and colored glass. The glass is then formed by blowing and shaping with a variety of tools and hand movements. Lampworking has been practiced since ancient times and became widely practiced in Murano, Italy in the 14th century. But it wasn't until the late 1960s that lampwork became recognized as a serious art form. To learn more about the St. Louis Lampworkers Society, visit www.stlouisbead.com.
Third Fridays at Third Degree are free, family-friendly events. Thirsty? Cash bar provided. Third Degree Glass is smack dab between University City's Loop and the Central West End. For more info: www.stlglass.com or 314-367-452.
