Sprinkler Factory Undercurrents Opening Reception

Sprinkler Factory Undercurrents Opening Reception

38 Harlow Street
Worcester, MA

The historic Sprinkler Factory is home to a vibrant and flourishing artistic community, and boasts one of the largest exhibition spaces in New England. Juried fine art and craft shows are scheduled throughout the year.  Every first Saturday of the month the resident artists of the Sprinkler Factory open their doors and welcome the public to the facility.  During these open house events you can meet the artists, buy their work, sign up for classes and tour the facility. http://www.sprinklerfactory.com/

This past Saturday they hosted the opening reception for “Undercurrents” in the gallery at the Sprinkler Factory.  “Undercurrents” is an exhibit of the new works by the members of the Blackstone Studio.  It featured works by Lisa Barthelson, Sally Bowditch, Nina Fletcher, Mary Keefe, Kathy Murry, Karen Nunley, Jackie Ross and Lynne Welsh.

While there I checked out the glass studio of Elisa Minasian. She is a glass artist and offers a variety of classes. It was a very interesting visit and I am definitely going to sign up for a class and try my skills at bead making and if I enjoy it work my way up to something cooler. She showed us examples of work people have done and I was blown away. One artist made bee’s no bigger than the real thing and so amazingly detailed.  She has a website you can visit to learn more about what she offers. http://www.somethingphishyglasstudio.com/
