Molten Glass
Explore the intricate technical process through an exhibition of glass work both hand-blown and fractured. Glassblowing involves three furnaces. The first, which contains a crucible of molten glass, is simply referred to as "the furnace." The second is called the "glory hole", and is used to reheat a piece in between steps of working with it. The final furnace is called the "lehr" or "annealer", and is used to slowly cool the glass, over a period of a few hours to a few days.

Exposing Shadows: Stanley Greaves
Stanley Greaves is a painter and writer who was born in a "tenement yard" on Carmichael Street, Georgetown, Guyana. He is one of the Caribbean's most distinguished artists with major exhibitions in the UK and Europe as well as throughout the Caribbean. He works mainly in painting, but has also produced sculpture, drawings, prints and pottery. His themes include family, daily life, metaphysical speculation, the hard years of social collapse and political repression in Guyana, the strange visitations of inner imaginative life, and an exploration of shadows. He left Guyana in 1987 and moved to Barbados where he spent over 20 years; he now resides in Fayetteville, NC.
