…according to the Yanks – and, you know, it’s a bloody hard claim to refute.

Completely forgot to post this last week (mea culpa, Nige) So you’ve missed the Lecture, alas. But for anyone booting around Pittsburgh this month, get on down to the Glass Centre.

LECTURE + SPECIAL DEMONSTRATION WEDNESDAY, MAY 30 6-8PM

Join us for a special evening with Nick Mount, one of Australia’s most accomplished and celebrated studio glass artists, on Wednesday, May 30 from 6 to 8pm. Get to know Nick and enjoy his wry Australian wit, learn more about the inspiration for his artwork, get a sneak preview of his exhibition and have an up-close opportunity to watch him create his work.
Nick is here to present a new exhibition called “10 Years of Bottles and Bobs: A Survey” that opens on Friday, June 1 and runs through July 15, 2012 at PGC.
Fast approaching his fifth decade working in the field, Nick Mount has been at the forefront of innovation and achievement in glass since the early 1970s. He was aptly named this year’s “Living Treasure: Masters of Australian Craft” by Object, the Australian Centre for Craft and Design.
We hope you’ll join us on Wednesday, May 30.
