VETRO GLASSBLOWING STUDIO & FINE ART GALLERY
Vetro exposes our glass patrons and community-at-large to an innovative, influential, glass artist, Aaron Tate! Arron Tate will be holding demonstrations at Vetro Glassblowing Studio during GrapeFest from 12:00p.m. – 5:00p.m. Saturday, September 15, 2018!
Here is a bit more about this awesome glassblowing artist:
Throughout his early and then professional years, Tate produced volumes of fashionable decorative art pieces, interior design fixtures, and functional ware. These were created with a notable versatility that would transcend any specific decorating style, and would contribute to his success as a sculptor in solid worked, blown, and cast glass.
Aaron Tate forms his sculptures in recognizable images of humans and animals. His designs include natural subjects, made objects, and landscapes. He has developed a style in which the juxtaposition of images is often beautiful or classic and yet enigmatic. By the use of a repetitive light and dark technique superimposed on the surface color, he is able to affect an atmospheric quality to sculptures already suffused with symbolic purport and historic connections. The return of the overall structure and intricate detail is the viewer’s interpretation of the work and to link the art, the artist, and the viewer’s self.
Aaron said in part, “Some of my pieces are happy and uplifting and others make one pensive and thoughtful. That is what the artist strives for, a personal response to a sculpture, an object, that evokes something from one’s personal experiences in this space-time. It’s so…personal – the viewing.”
Here at Vetro Glassblowing Studio & Fine Art Gallery, we are excited to feature this remarkable guest glass artist during the 32nd Annual GrapeFest. Please be aware that there will be an admission fee and Vetro is not able to wave that fee or allow guest to come into the gates for free!
