Pop Art & Pints: Artist John Miller Demo at Glasshaüs
Visiting artist John Miller will be joining us at the Nashville GLASSHAÜS on Friday, March 15th from 6:00- 8:00 pm for a blown glass demonstration (of a crinkle cut french fry). Miller’s glass work is characterized by play with scale, transforming everyday objects into a larger than life experience. His subjects include burgers, fries, beer glasses, and household objects like car keys or martini glasses, scaled up to impressive levels. Come see for yourself!
We are thrilled to be hosting John at the GLASSHAÜS and look forward to seeing you for this fantastic evening. In addition to the blown glass demonstration, Miller's works will be available for purchase and viewing. Come grab a bite to eat and watch a master at work.
