Glass Comes Alive
To explore the many facets of glass and celebrate the United Nations International Year of Glass 2022, Glass Comes Alive is a free one-day event consisting of interdisciplinary public talks with 3D printed versions of ancient glassware, followed by a public demonstration by glassblowers from the Museum of Glass Mobile Hot Shop, Tacoma, WA. Glassblowers will make versions of late Roman, Sasanian and early Islamic glassware by using contemporary approaches. Background concerning the ancient glassware is provided in real time via an interactive app. This generously funded event is designed to help students and the general public to broaden their perspectives concerning modern technology by looking to the past.
