Glass Only

Debbie Jansen & Friends

The Second Annual "Glass Only" show features over 20 local glass artists from Vancouver Island and the surrounding Gulf Islands.   Join us at Coast Collective Gallery and indulge your eyes in the beauty of glass in all its creative entities.  The material of glass is such a unique medium that can be worked cold, warm, hot in the flame,liquid, bent, shaped and manipulated into a thousand different forms.  Whether it be functional, structural, sculpted, blown or fused, the wonder of glass is an enticement to the eye that speaks to the soul.  Come and experience the magic of glass.

New Glass for Studio Tour- June 9th & 10th

I freely admit that I work best under pressure and find inspiration from travels, so what better combination than freshly back from New York...with 3 weeks to the CACSP Studio Tour!!!!  Am I crazy?!  In a good sort of way...yes! :)
I have been working hard and from panic comes inspiration and one idea leads to another until...how am I going to get this glass off Piers Island, up and down ramps, docks, boats...and safely to Muse Winery for the weekend?

So...the photo above in the Piers Island Studio gives you a glimpse in a slanted sort of way ( I have wasted so much time trying to rotate in this Blogger program-no luck at all) but...you'll get the idea and hope to see you in person this weekend at Muse Winery 11195 Chalet Road, North Saanich.  The winery has lots of maps on hand for all the studios on the tour- a total of 26 in all.

You can also go to http://www.cacsp.com/ and download the map from their website.  Fingers crossed for sunshine, because al fresco lunches at Bistro Muse are a great way to enhance the day.  There is also limited inside seating if my chants to the Sun gods don't work.  Reserve at 250-656-2552
