Description
It's been 24 years since co-founders Doug Auer and Jim McKelvey opened the doors to Third Degree Glass. And while the building has changed and the surrounding neighborhood continues to grow, the core mission remains the same: share our passion for glass with the local community. We're inviting some friends to celebrate with us and compete in the annual Death Match in the hot shop: two teams, amazing talent, one winner chosen by you. PLUS: It's the third year for Delish on Delmar, a fun mix of food festival, makers market, and block party, right outside our building happening THE SAME NIGHT! Two great events in one. Read below for all the details of the night. ?Glassblowing Demos 6:15 pm: We're creating another St. Louis landmark for our holiday window display. 8:15 pm: TDG vs. SAA. We're welcoming back Mario Clarke and his team from the Springfield Art Association to battle it out with our artists for a competition with hot glass, sweat and maybe some tears. The losing piece? It gets smashed with a GIANT PUMPKIN graciously donated by Eckert's. ?Flame Demo at 7:15 pm: Get up close and personal with a flame artist on the torch. ?Live Music by Friday Jam featuring our glassblower Eve Cascella of Snazzy Glass ?Exhibition: Catch the inspiring exhibition, The Wearer Worn, by NC Qin of Australia, on display through Oct. 31. ?Studio Experiences: Every studio has a seasonal experience. Sign up for one, or hit a couple!More Information
