No no no… not THAT gas. But what I do have is the annual Glass Art Society conference invading my home town in the coming month. And what’s even better, is this nifty SEE BE: A Roadmap to Bullseye at GAS booklet that my fav glass makers put out listing their picks for Kiln events not to be missed. What’s even MO’ betta is that for us unfortunates who weren’t able to get out of work/life to attend the actual conference there are a ton of listings for public exhibits and walking tours throughout the city all month long!

My pick for “Not to be missed” is Nathan Sandberg‘s show ON THE MOVE, June 21st – July 7th, at Portland State University’s Autzen Gallery. Nathan is one of the super fantastical kiln-glass magic makers who teach and play in the BE R&E. I love his “sugar cube” cast frit cubicle concoctions*

*do not let him hear about that “sugar cube” descriptor…
