The materials - simple metals, glass beads, mineral stones and crystal rhinestones - are used to translate her creative perceptions into intricate patterns with a thousand messages.

Today, Bar is a mature designer, cognizant of the trends in the fashion world, but always true to her inner vision.

As a result of his ingenuity and the inventiveness of his creations, Salvadore’s glass design became instantly noteworthy, and he has since worked at prestigious glasshouses and collaborated with designers and artists across the globe. BLACK “Over the past 40 years, I have worked in many mediums: oil, watercolor, ceramics, textile design, interior design, and jewelry, only discovering glass 10 years ago. I have always been inspired by nature in my art, but flowers and insects (bugs) are truly my favorite. In my new Pate de Verre pieces, I am trying to capture the beauty and fragility of these objects. While gardening, hiking, and walking, I am often overwhelmed by how beautiful flowers and bugs can be, only to find it the next day wilted, or “gone”. Pate de Verre is also, by nature, VERY fragile needing extra care in handling. When lighted properly the viewer can see how delicate these pieces are... and hopefully appreciate their beauty.” 112 MURRINE NECKLACES BY DAVIDE SALVADORE | $100 EACH THANK YOU Davide Salvadore Created in 2016 8 JEWELRY BOX BLACK 113 JEWELRY BOX BLURRED VISION PENDANT BY JEAN SHAFFER | $269 Jean Shaffer is a Washington native and Seattle resident.

His study of the instruments of master luthiers, as well as those of contemporary makers, combined with his interest in science and engineering, has led to the continuous production of fused glass electric guitars as well as members of the violin family. These intriguing instruments have been tested and certified by professional players and heard in concert throughout the region. His latest work, the Glass Odyssee Series, features these playable fused glass instruments ranging from classical instruments including the Cello, Violin and Viola, to more contemporary instruments. 218 FRANS TALKING & TASTING TOUR SWEET NIGHT THANK YOU Fran’s Chocolates 28 SILENT RED 219 AMETHYST & GREYSTONE “HAYSTACK” BY JOSIE GLUCK & MICHAEL SCHUNKE | $7,200 This is a one-of-a-kind sculptural vessel from the Josie Gluck and Michael Schunke collaborative series. Systematically assembled and layered glass patterns are blown, and layered again. The result is a deconstruction of traditional repeated pattern and symmetry. Josie Gluck’s and Michael Schunke’s mutual interest in design and craftsmanship led to the founding of their collaborative practice in 2011. Their sculptural vessels balance simple form and complex patterns that explore the intersection of chaos and beauty. Gluck and Schunke also conceive and create Vetro Vero designs, recently featured in Elle Decor, Veranda and Architectural Digest magazines. Gluck holds an MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Schunke, a former associate professor of the Toyama City Institute of Glass Art, has work in museum collections worldwide. THANK YOU 29 Josie Gluck & Michael Schunke Hand Blown Glass, Signed - 2015 17 x 17 x 9 inches SILENT 220 VENUS IN TIME BY SHIRLEY KLINGHOFFER| $1,100 Shirley Klinghoffer’s artwork is very personal. It addresses life situations – universal concerns – some of which hit close to home. She often uses the human body, or parts of the body, to convey an idea. She has consistently explored the use of multiplicity of forms and sensual minimalism with a variety of materials including tinted rubber, wax, plaster, and resins. “Provocative elements, dark humor, and machinery to create movement have surfaced in my recent sculpture in addition to my core use of visual puns and irony.” THANK YOU Shirley Klinghoffer Cast Stone 12 x 15 x 5 inches Signed - 1997 SILENT 221 SEATTLE SERIES #21 BY TOM SOURLIS & TWYLA BUTLER| $1,100 The 15 x 23 inch fused panel is one of a Sea Life Series. The plant forms are shown on a black ground presented as botanical or laboratory specimens mounted in a free standing wooden box. The plan forms are created by making the plant’s parts first and then combining them into a finished plant. Parts are fused from various grades of frit, powder, and fractures. THANK YOU Tom Sourlis & Twyla Butler Fused glass 15 x 23 inch panel, 26 x 18 inch box Signed - 2016 222 CREATURE I’16 BY BRYNHILDUR THORGEIRSDOTTIR |$2,400 Brynhildur Thorgeirsdóttir studied at the Icelandic College of Art and Crafts, the Orrefors Glass School in Sweden, Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, and the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, California. She now lives and works in Reykjavík. Working in concrete, glass, sand, and cast iron in mostly neutral colors, Brynhildur creates stark and rugged sculptures that refer to stylized landscape features, utilizing hard lines and geometrical forms that manifest solidity strength. Some of her works are incorporated into the actual landscape itself. Brynhildur describes her solid rebar concrete block “mountains” as “the environmental art of the future.” RED Pioneers in the art of “thin fusing” Tom Sourlis and Twyla Butler of Sourlis Glass Studio, are known for their gossamer sculptural pieces. Their intricate fused glass figures call attention to the delicate nature of glass, pushing the boundaries of traditional.

He is a Fulbright Scholar and recipient of the National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship. 224 BREATH OF SNOWLAND BY ERIKA TADA | $1,500 “My current work is about my life, important events and special moments of happiness I have experienced. By having a dialogue with my emotions and expressing my pleasure, I can reflect upon my relationship with my family and friends, and look back upon my history and myself. I try to retain memories and express the emotions I feel at the time I receive precious things such as letters, pictures and small objects. These memories and objects of mine are protected and kept secretly and importantly in containers. I can look into these objects and be reminded of my childhood experiences and travels. Viewers have their own personal memories and experiences, and I hope my pieces cause nostalgia in the viewer for what they have seen and experienced in their own lives.” THANK YOU THANK YOU Charles Parriott Cast Glass on Steel Frame 26 x 10 x 10 inches Signed - 2008 Erika Tada Blown & Kiln Cast Glass 12 1/2 x 32 inches Signed - 2016 SILENT 225 GREEN GUM BY DEBORAH CZERESKO | $1,500 “This artwork is from a series inspired by pieces of chewed and discarded gum. They playfully and colorfully explore glass as an inherently seductive material. Making this subject in glass tests the material’s capacity to translate form characterized by grotesqueness and waste into something sensual and beautiful. Even a thing which has been chewed and discarded by the mouth, or stepped on by the shoe can be rendered decorous when made in glass.” September 16, 2017 RED NEXT YEAR’S RED HOT!

Fans line up at the gates to fill the ballpark each night. They come for a show and a show they do get. Always bigger and better. Who knows what to expect? They see hits and home runs, but that’s just a small part. Proudly displayed is Tacoma’s big heart. Yes, Cheney Stadium is something to see...
