About the Event
Ignite your brain with a class in the art of glassblowing! This virtual demonstration will feature renowned Peoria, Illinois, artist J. Draper of J. Draper Glass, LLC, and her team, who together have over 38 years of experience creating colorful works of glass art.
Watch them transform molten glass into vivid, flowing forms—rolling it in rich color, coaxing it through heat, and pulling it into delicate frills and expressive, sculptural details.
