Bertil Vallien (Sweden) WHY 1-12, 2009 Sandcast glass

Longboat Key, FL (PRWEB) December 16, 2014 -- This January, the Longboat Key Center for the Arts (LBKCA), a division of Ringling College of Art and Design, collaborates with Habatat Galleries (MI) to present 'Reflections From the Fire,' a series of extraordinary international glass events. In the Durante Gallery, LBKCA will be presenting two dozen glass artists representing 13 countries around the globe and myriad techniques and approaches to studio glass that are as diverse and widespread as their creators.

Some of the pieces in this exhibition have never been displayed in the United States, and we are so pleased to offer these treasures for the people on our Creative Coast.

Curated by Habatat Galleries, Reflections From the Fire consists of 29 works of art by 25 glass artists utilizing a variety of techniques including casting (sand and kiln), blowing, carving, sculpting, and laminating. Noted artists included in the exhibition include Dale Chihuly (US), Lino Tagliapietra (Italy), Harvey Littleton (US), Peter Bremers (The Netherlands), and Hiroshi Yamano (Japan) among several others.

“We’re delighted to be collaborating with Habatat Galleries to bring the top glass artists of our time to display and sell their works at LBKCA,” says Jane Buckman, Director, LBKCA. “Some of the pieces in this exhibition have never been displayed in the United States, and we are so pleased to offer these treasures for the people on our Creative Coast.”
