The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

They continue the lineage of one of Irish music's dynasties\, begun by their grandmother Sarah Makem\, who was sought after by song collectors for her store of traditional Irish songs. Their father is Tommy Makem\, the modern day Bard of Armagh. Now considered an icon\, he helped to bring Irish music out of the corner and into the international spotlight\, where it has remained ever since. The Spain Brothers\, too\, learned Irish songs at their father's knee. Mickey's rich\, baritone voice and Liam's mastery of stringed instruments quickly found a home when the Makems met the Spains and the brothers realized the power of their combined talents. Folk songs are engrained in both families\, and their songwriting contains the timeless qualities of folk classics: songs of the worker\, songs of the sea and Irish culture. They tell the tale of Ireland and its people–a culture that has undergone terrible strife\, but remains strong.\n\nTo purchase the dinner and show event package\, please call The Ark at 734-761-1800 or Conor O’Neill’s at 734-665-2968.\n UID:12819-1182310@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/12819 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:makem,music,spain brothers,the ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 S.

Although his reference is ancient functional form\, his glass vessels are modern and architectural. Poceta’s museum quality work engages the viewer with beautiful forms and surface designs that can be traced to the late Bronze Age.
