Share your ideas for the colors and design of a piece of blown glass art through this form, then join us to watch a live glass-blowing demonstration to see the art created.
Professionals from the Morean Arts Center will show us the workshop and their techniques, then answer any questions you have. The finished piece will be shipped to the library for you to come in person and see after the program! Artwork will be on display at the North Olympic Library System from August 1-14, the Port Townsend Public Library for Aug 16-21, and at the Jefferson County Library from August 23-28. Generously supported by the Friends of the Jefferson County Library.
About Bao Nya Thao
Emerging Hmong-American artist, Bao Nya Thao, was first introduced to glassworking in 2006 at the University of Wisconsin Marathon County. After becoming hypnotized by the molten medium, she continued her glass education at UW Madison to follow the traditions of glass pioneer, Harvey Littleton, and UW alumni, Dale Chihuly. Here, Bao studied the different forms of glassworking favoring glass enameling, fusing, and coldworking. Following the completion of her Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2012, she served a year in AmeriCorps, was a coordinator for an after-school program, and explored the south central area of Alaska. Currently, she is the newest member of the in-house gaffers at the Morean Arts Center.
