Each year we try to bring you at least one new guest artists, this year we have 3! Our goal is to bring you excellence in art, paired with excellence in wine.
We think the selection of Craig Benson (stone & bronze),
Dave Hutchison (photography & giclee), Heather A. Hamilton (fine silver jewelry), Mark Hobson (canvas), Andree Fredette (textile), Paul Harder (bronze) and my work in fused glass & jewelry will offer you a phenomenal selection from a wonderful variety of mediums this year.

Mark Hobson comes to us from Tofino, Andree Fredette - Saturna Island and Heather A. Hamilton formerly from Duncan, now new to the Westshore area. We're excited to bring you these new artists.

As always, the Muse Winery tasting room will be open throughout the show giving you the opportunity to combine a tasting, or enjoy a glass of wine while taking in the show, or pondering your purchases. Could there be a more relaxing way to shop...can't think of one!

Hope to see you there.

Glass Only Show opens Sept. 7th

2011-09-08T12:35:00.000-07:00

The First Annual Glass Only show opened at Coast Collective Gallery at Havenwood at Esquimalt Lagoon yesterday. Hats off to Debbie Jansen who has brought together over 15 glass artists in every form of the medium of glass. I think the show now features the work of 20 artists, but every time I check back to the website, another one is added.
Glass is such a wonderful medium, it reflects, refracts, glows and changes with both natural and artificial light. As an art form it just gives the beholder something extra, a whimsical glint, a shadow of colour spilling across a floor or table. It is truly unique and those who love glass understand my words, and if you haven't looked at art glass before, this would be a wonderful time to explore if you're in the Victoria, BC area.

Coast Collective Gallery hours are Wednesdays to Sundays from 12 to 5 pm. I'll be there for the
Meet the Artist afternoon taking place Saturday September 10th from 2 to 4 pm.

Come wind your way through the beautiful forest of the Havenwood property and cross over stone bridges until you find your way to Pendray House, whose windows overlook the Esquimalt Lagoon and Bird Sanctuary. You'll be wanting your camera.
