Fremont Art Association is thrilled to present a glassblowing demo live via Zoom from the hot shop of the Bay Area Glass Institute (BAGI), featuring glass artist Jeanette Hartley on Thursday, May 8.
BAGI is a hub where aspiring and professional glass artists and hobbyists fire up their imagination to transform glass into beautiful pieces of art. In her Demo, “Serving up A Whimsical Slice of Cake Made of Blown Glass,” Hartley will present the hot glass blowing technique. She will show how molten glass gathered on the end of a blowpipe with just a bit of air breathed into it can be transformed into various objects through skillful maneuvering of the hot glass.
Hartley has been blowing glass and doing torchwork for over eight years. She’s drawn to the excitement of glass blowing and the artistry of sculpting, and her mouthwatering glass desserts are inspired by her love of baking. Most of Hartley’s glass training has been through BAGI and other glass studios in California.
A nonprofit organization partly funded by the City of San Jose’s Office of Cultural Affairs, BAGI serves as a vital resource in glass art education for the entire Bay Area community.
The demo—free to attend—will be held via Zoom. Participants must register in advance and will receive the Zoom link via email. All details may be found on the Fremont Art Association webpage: fremontartassociation.org/monthlymeetinganddemo.
