The Washington Post had featured Erwin Timmers cast recycled glass in the Weekend Section – and his work had drawn many visitors.
Mount Rainier City Councilman Jimmy Tarlau checks out the Open House – loving the artwork by Dave Cook.

Erwin Timmers chats about art with Stephan Thurman and Laurie Brown.
The Glass School’s newest elf – Mick Coughlan – updates and advises Santa on the current “Naughty or Nice” status.
From the looks of the conversation between Robert Kincheloe and M.L.Duffy – I’m guessing “Naughty” list material.

Debra Ruzinsky exhibits her beautiful cast glass – Sweet!
Nancy Donnelly‘s copper, glass and steel sculpture were some of the most popular works in the show. Nancy nearly sold out of all her work. I understand that she had another art opening after the school’s show, and sold many of her painting works! This is Nancy’s year!

Speaking of years – this is also a big one for metalworker Chris Shea. Chris’ artwork was recently acquired by the Smithsonian Museum as part of the permanent collection at the Renwick Gallery. Congratulations, Chris!
