Peppermill Village’s new community center will feature a glass and steel sculpture inset with glass artwork made by the community.
Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission (M-NCPPC), Department of Parks and Recreation awarded Washington Glass Studio the commission to design, fabricate and install a work of art in the form of a sculpture that has the potential to become a landmark for the Peppermill Community. The new soaring glass and steel structure will be internally illuminated and feature glass panels made by the Peppermill community. The first of three planned community glass-making workshops took place this weekend at the Washington Glass School.
The Washington Glass School was filled with residents of Peppermill Village, MD – all making glass and having a great time!
We will post more photos of the workshops and the progress of the sculpture as the work proceeds!
Everyone got into expressing themselves in glass and telling their story for the public art sculpture.
