Goblet Week

Goblet making has long been a tradition across many cultures worldwide. With the PNW having been steeped in the Italian approach to glassmaking through the Studio Glass movement, Italian-style goblets are a fixture in our local glassmaking scene.Italian-style goblets are notable for their thinness and complexity. Goblet Week will feature four Visiting Artists who are some of the best in the game in this style: Dante Marioni, James Mongrain, Katherine Gray, Nancy Callan, and Granite Calimpong. Each artist will spend their day in the Hot Shop showcasing their unique approach to making goblets (or “cups,” as they are affectionately called by the artists). On Sunday, the Museum of Glass Hot Shop Team will take center stage and conclude the week making their signature goblet designs. Sunday’s programming will also feature a lecture on the history of goblets by Hot Shop Emcee Walter Lieberman. Each day, audiences will learn about the different techniques and processes used by each artist in their goblet design. See below for more about the artists. Additionally, Museum of Glass will host an Artist Reception + Wine Tasting and Goblet Sale the evening of Saturday, January 20.
