Guest Artist for November!

We are pleased to be able to share with you work by glass artist, Katherine Garrity this month in the gallery! Katherine won Best Of Show at the inaugural Indiana’s Emerging Glass Artists exhibition in October of 2012 for the work shown below, Fulgurites.

These pieces will be featured in ArtSplash Gallery, along with a selection of her other pieces, during the month of November.  Garrity will be present at the Gallery Walk on November 10th, to chat about her work with visitors.  Here is Katherine’s description of the creative processes used in making “Fulgurites” –

“These are blown forms made in the hotshop with a clear bubble that is rolled first in green frit (crushed colored glass) and then in white frit. After the shape is blown out to the size desired, I start to shape the hot glass with various tools and controlled heating. After the piece is cooled down, I take it into the coldshop where I grind the bottom and then sandblast the surface.”

Garrity will be present at the Gallery Walk on November 10th, to chat about her work with visitors. Be sure to stop in and visit with this amazing emerging artist!
