Free Glassblowing Demonstration

Artists from the Tulsa Glassblowing School will be in Kansas City to lead the next free glassblowing demonstration at the Belger Glass Annex (1219 E. 19th St., KCMO) on First Friday, November 3 from 6 to 8 pm. Ryan Kepler and Kayla Ohlmer will collaborate on an artwork that blends glassblowing and glass sculpting techniques.

Kepler aims to create curiosity and wonder by referencing nature, natural materials, and natural phenomena. Ohlmer’s work explores themes of perception, distortion, and vanity.

Friday, November 3 is also opening night for “Holidays at Belger Crane Yard Gallery,” an annual exhibition featuring works for sale by artists from across the  country. Available artworks make the perfect gifts for family and friends and will be available for purchase in person and online through December 30, 2023.
