Glass Arts Indiana is a non-profit that brings local glass artists together, sells and displays art and offers classes.
At Glass Arts Indiana, entry-level glassblowing classes give a glimpse of the craft. Instructor Kenton Siebold Pratt helps students make holiday ornaments.Three furnaces sit side by side, emitting an orange glow and a steady hum inside a toasty workshop.
"So that's kind of a key component of Glass Arts, having a shared space, it's very community based," said Kenton Siebold Pratt, a glassblowing instructor and artist."A lot of the work we make here and have in the gallery you can't make by yourself. It requires an assistant. So having that centralized location where you can all kind of come together is really important and helpful.
"Something that is great about glass is it really is about light, where as other materials you can shine light on them, but you can't shine light in them," Siebold Pratt said.
