Cville Glass Fire Experience brings different glass artists together

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - Glass artists came together at Studio 1050º on Sunday, November 8 for the Cville Glass Fire Experience, where visitors watched live demonstrations and learned about different glassblowing techniques.

Visitors also had the chance to try glassmaking themselves.

Studio 1050º founder Elder McMurtrey said the event was an opportunity for artists and people to connect.

“Getting them down here, it creates a great environment, fosters encouragement, familiarity, companionship, fellowship, all those good things wrapped into one,” McMurtrey said. “And with so many smiling faces, it’s kind of hard not to have a good time.”

Studio 1050 offers glassblowing classes and holds free events on Thursdays. For more information on their classes, visit their website.
