Sunday July 28, 2024 from 12:00pm-5:00pm
Join us for a glassblowing demonstration at Foci Minnesota Center for Glass Arts! Adeye Jean-Baptiste and Kaito Nishino will be collaboratively working in our nonprofit studio’s hotshop to create blown glass sculptures. This is a great opportunity to watch professional glass artists work together to create their artwork, and gain some insight into the process.
Free and open to the public! Guests may come and go as they please throughout the afternoon.
