The American Glass Guild had invited Korina Oswald to present a glass community project, formally called "Shedding Light", but informally known as Earl, due to the snake shape it took on in a large window at the Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum in Mesa, Arizona. Over five hundred glass artists contributed small trapezoids of glass that were then grouped into small panels of five. Earl was on display for a year, then taken down and each panel was auctioned off to raise funds for the AGG's James C. Whitney Memorial Scholarship. We were lucky to win Panel #76, which we will display proudly somewhere in the studio up here. The small panel that Ryan made up and contributed was in a panel that our friends down at Blue Moon Glassworks won, so a little part of Canada is happily on display in Austin, Texas!
