Urban Glass – Let’s go to Brooklyn Tonight

by

If you find yourself in Brooklyn you must wander over to Urban Glass, a fantastic glass facility. I’ve had the pleasure of hanging out there a couple of times and find the place just awesome. I did a glass bead show there ages ago and the last time I was in Manhattan I had to go over and just be there. When I did the bead show it was held right next to the hot shop so I was able to watch the creation of some pretty impressive lamp shades. Lamp shade is an understatement but that’s OK. I had my first opportunity to witness a roll up then and was intrigued by the technique ever since.

So check out their site, their classes and events…their publication, Glass Quarterly and when you find yourself in the Manhattan or Brooklyn area stop by and check out the facility.
