Preston Singletary Returns to the Hot Shop Through Sunday, April 11 <http://museumofglass.cmail3.com/t/y/l/ohihhd/kdtyjdkk/r> MOG welcomes Preston Singletary <http://museumofglass.cmail3.com/t/y/l/ohihhd/kdtyjdkk/y> back to the Hot Shop for a Visiting Artist residency presented in conjunction with his exhibition, Echoes, Fire and Shadows, <http://museumofglass.cmail3.com/t/y/l/ohihhd/kdtyjdkk/j> currently on display in the Museum gallery. Preston combines European glassblowing techniques and traditional <http://museumofglass.cmail3.com/t/y/l/ohihhd/kdtyjdkk/t> Northwest Native designs to create a distinctive and powerful body of work. His artwork depicts cultural and historical images from his Tlingit ancestry in richly detailed, beautifully hued glass. During his residency, Preston will work with the MOG Hot Shop Team to demonstrate some of his signature pieces. On Saturday and Sunday, Joe David-Native American artist, friend and mentor to Preston-will join the team and collaborate on additional designs. Stop by and see Preston at work and then tour his exhibition. <http://museumofglass.cmail3.com/t/y/l/ohihhd/kdtyjdkk/i> CONVERSATION WITH THE ARTIST Sunday, April 11, 2 pm Meet Preston and learn more about his art and career at the slide presentation and discussion in the Hot Shop. The Visiting Artist Program is sponsored by the Windgate Charitable Foundation, Art Alliance for Contemporary Glass, City of Tacoma Arts Commission, Courtyard by Marriott / Tacoma and City Arts Magazine. MEET THE ARTIST, WATCH THE FILM, ENJOY THE PARTY Exclusive Trimpin Film Screening and Reception Tomorrow Night Friday, April 9, 6 - 9 pm <http://i10.cmail3.com/ei/y/BE/413/B65/030758/images/trimpin.gif> MOG presents an exclusive screening of Trimpin: The Sound of Invention, <http://museumofglass.cmail3.com/t/y/l/ohihhd/kdtyjdkk/d> a film created by Peter Esmonde about Trimpin, a renowned artist, inventor, composer, engineer and recipient of the MacArthur Genius Award. Filmed over two years, this feature-length documentary is an amusing journey through the self-made musical world of an eccentric creative genius. It follows Trimpin as he designs the 60-foot tower of more than 500 automatic electric guitars housed at Experience Music Project; builds an ensemble of huge marimbas that converts real-time earthquake data into music; and collaborates with the Kronos Quartet on an outrageous world premiere featuring toy instruments. Footage of the artist working in the MOG Shop during his 2006 Visiting Artist residency is also included in the film. Admission is FREE for Museum of Glass members <http://museumofglass.cmail3.com/t/y/l/ohihhd/kdtyjdkk/h> and $5 for non-members. Following the film, meet Trimpin and purchase autographed limited-edition DVDs and posters during a special reception.

This comprehensive program, presented by renowned artist, teacher and historian Walter Lieberman, <http://museumofglass.cmail3.com/t/y/l/ohihhd/kdtyjdkk/u> chronicles the evolution of glassmaking from ancient Rome through today's Studio Glass movement. Check the MOG Event Calendar <http://museumofglass.cmail3.com/t/y/l/ohihhd/kdtyjdkk/o> for information about specific topics. Each session will take place in the Hot Shop, a fitting setting for the series. Presenting from the Hot Shop floor, Walt will have access to the glassmaking tools and materials-many of which were introduced during the historical periods he will discuss and are still in use today-to illustrate his topics. A prepared slideshow will also be projected on the big screen. Cost to attend the lectures is included with Museum admission, which is free for Museum of Glass members. <http://museumofglass.cmail3.com/t/y/l/ohihhd/kdtyjdkk/b> Join now! <http://museumofglass.cmail3.com/t/y/l/ohihhd/kdtyjdkk/n> HAULIN' GLASS!
