Sitting at her torch, designing in glass brings her balance. The art Emily designs invites you into her world. The stories are visual and interpreted individually. All the glass created while flameworking is significant because of how the artist's hands and mind work tirelessly in harmony to produce something from absolutely nothing. ________________________________ [Morrow]Liz Morrow Tacoma Studio Tour<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/vmm0dj30.r.us-west-2.awstrack.me/L0/https:*2F*2Ftacomaartsmonth.org*2Fstudio-tour*2F/4/0101019244041d8f-ef167ca9-831b-4ec5-b4d7-6a6a6398fe9f-000000/R8T1a_P41wYVHqPJM-skaWX3oOM=394__;JSUlJQ!!CRCbkf1f!RRid7C5i1aGKKS28IND6-I-T8Z44NnkNRmArs_bVEZeLMmy7D9gj03CgsUu7A7kfByfG7F7l5QKzr8YENoIn-6w1kwQt1MzdbubnSsAJgQ$>, Studio #29 Liz is a multidisciplinary artist and writer whose work often focuses on the idea of belonging and home, and how place and identity intersect and interact. She works in a variety of mediums, including murals, printmaking, painting, and poetry—but she most loves printmaking and public art for how adeptly they broaden access to art for many who historically have been ostracized from the fine art world. ________________________________ Looking for something to do this October?
