Penland Spruce Pine Little Switzerland Montreat Chimney Rock Landrum, SC “Glass in the Mountains” Celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the Studio Glass Movement - Sept. 20 - 23, 2012 Close to 60 Toe River Valley glass artists have joined forces to create “Glass in the Mountains”, an activity-rich, four day celebration that commemorates the 50th anniversary of the birth of the studio glass movement. A dozen galleries as well as studios throughout Burnsville, Bakersville, Penland, and Spruce Pine in Western North Carolina will be hosting tours, unique glass exhibits, demonstrations, a book signing and even a special “goblets and glasses” wine tasting where locally made, handcrafted wine glasses will be available for sale. Work by Polly Lorien The Sept. 20 – 23 events kick off Thursday night, Sept. 20 with glass blowing demonstrations and guided stargazing at the Energy Xchange, a one-time landfill converted into a one-of-a-kind incubator for glass and ceramic artists. On Friday evening, Sept. 21, visitors can look forward to a special “History of Glass in the Toe River Valley” reception at the Toe River Arts Council’s new art center in Spruce Pine. Work by John Littleton and Kate Vogel “Few places in the country have as rich a history in glass art as we do in the rural Toe River Valley,” says “Glass in the Mountains” Coordinator Kate Vogel. “Harvey Littleton, recognized worldwide for his remarkable contribution to the studio glass movement in addition to being designated a “North Carolina Treasure,” was instrumental in making this region a hot-bed for glass artists. Our current roster of residents working in glass reads like a ‘Who’s Who in Glass’ directory, with renowned artists such as Mark Peiser, John Littleton, Richard Ritter, Rob Levin, the Bernstein family, Shane Fero, and Rick continued above on next column to the right 11 36 Columbus I-26 176 Table of Contents 9 226 226 Bakersville 226 221 64 11 83 9 19E 221 Marion I-40 74 Linville Falls 221 Rutherfordton 19E 194 Newland 226 221 Chesnee, SC 194 Banner Elk 221 Forest City Spartanburg, SC 184 64 321 Boone 221 Blowing Rock 226 103 I-85 Beck. One of the things I think visitors will appreciate most is the opportunity to see an incredibly diverse body of work that ranges from functional to sculptural.” While many of the weekend long activities are free, a limited number of special VIP tickets are also available. “The Littleton family has agreed to open Harvey’s studio, which has been closed to the public for years. The studio not only houses a large selection of his work from the 40s through the 90s, but work from his students as well,” Vogel says. Work by William Bernstein On Saturday evening, Sept. 22, VIPs will be treated to a gala event held at the Burnsville Town Center. Guests will have to opportunity to mingle with the glass artists before settling in to locally crafted appetizers prepared by Chef Nate Allen of the Spruce Pine based Knife and Fork restaurant. Appetizers and wine will be followed by a lecture and book signing by Joan Falconer Byrd, who discusses her book, Harvey K. Littleton: A Life in Glass. The evening also includes a slide show of local artists’ work and a video that tells the fascinating story of the studio glass movement. (A limited number of non-VIP lecture passes will be made available for a nominal fee.) The VIP program also includes a private glassblowing demonstration at The Penland School of Craft as well as a personalized tour of Mark Peiser’s studio. The cost of a VIP ticket is $250. “We’re expecting collectors and curators from across the country,” Vogel adds. “I have no doubt it’s going to be a memorable weekend for both visitors and artists alike.” 321 Lenoir 64 Morganton Shelby 18 18 18 64 321 421 I-40 286 18 N.
