What great fun it was to participate in the first of what will hopefully become an annual event focusing on San Antonio art and culture. I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to work directly in front the Alamo a iconic Texas landmark, while listening to the San Antonio Symphony play live. It doesn't get cooler then that. Glass alley, the stretch between the Alamo and San Antonio River, included members of the San Antonio Glass Art Guild (SAGAG), the Society of Artisan Lamp workers in San Antonio (SALSA), Wired Designs Studio, Dragonfire Hot Glass Studio and Garcia Art Glass.

Here are a few pictures of me doing a demonstration on pulling Vitrograph using a kiln, equipment and glass provided by Wired Designs Studio.

It was around ten o'clock when glass started to flow

You can also see clips of SALSA members on their torches at MySA.com.
None of this would have happened without the hard work of Nina "Sam" Hibler who coordinated the participation of this band of glass artists. Thanks again Sam! While I'm thanking people, I should include My Place Bar & Grille who provided the tables and chairs used by SALSA's lamp workers to set up torches and by SAGAG members to display glass and distribute information. Thank you David.
