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.

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.

He creates one-of-a-kind blown glass vessels that resonate with both past and present.

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.

These titles are all accurate\, yet none conveys the warmth\, humor\, and soulfulness of Taj and his distinctive brand of music–variously described as Afro-Caribbean blues\, folk-world-blues\, hula blues\, folk-funk\, and a host of other hyphenations. Take Caribbean\, Hawaiian\, African\, Latin\, and Cuban sounds and rhythms and mix with folk\, jazz\, zydeco\, gospel\, rock\, pop\, soul\, and R&B\, all layered on top of a solid country blues foundation! What ties it all together is Taj’s abiding interest in musical discovery. A self-taught musician\, Taj plays more than 20 instruments\, including the National Steel and Dobro guitars. His remarkable voice ranges from gruff and gravelly to smooth and sultry. There are all kinds of stories and ideas in Taj Mahal's music if you listen closely\, but when he plays live there's one idea above all–he wants people to move\, and every show is a celebration. \n UID:13577-1184911@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/13577 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:music,taj mahal,the ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 S.

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.

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.
