First Friday Demo: Friday, February 6, from 6:00 to 8:00pm Belger Glass Annex

Join us for a FREE Artist Talk and glassblowing demonstration this February with Glass Resident Artist, Tyler Suter!

Tyler Suter is a St. Louis-based studio artist who works primarily with glass. His current body of work explores the repetition of form and pattern that can be found throughout nature, from micro to macroscopic. Developing this body of work involves exploring various glassworking techniques and incorporating ceramic components.

Learn about Suter’s process and inspirations during his Artist Talk and watch him in action on First Friday as he leads the glassblowing demo to make a glass piece of art.

These programs are in conjunction with Suter’s special topic class, Hot Hands. Only a few class slots are available. Sign up today!
