He creates one-of-a-kind blown glass vessels that resonate with both past and present. His work is influenced by various glass and ceramic”¨forms found in ancient cultures including Greek\, Roman and Egyptian. Being a former painter\, the surface of his work becomes a painting in glass. The reference for his surface designs can be traced to the Minoan culture\, 3000 B.C. 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.

Danny writes and sings\, and his music can sound like Willie Nelson\, like the Eagles\, like Uncle Walt's Band\, or like Southern-fried modern folk–it's pretty hard to put this guy in a box! He grew up in south central Kentucky playing everything from bluegrass to rock to classical music. Moving to Austin in 1980\, Danny got a master's degree in progressive country music during a stint as Jerry Jeff Walker's road manager\, and he's been making music with the Austin spirit ever since. Danny has toured with the likes of Guy Clark\, Chris Smither\, Chris Wall\, Greg Trooper\, and the original Dixie Chicks\, and his fame extends as far as Belgium and Italy. His duet show with veteran multi-instrumentalist Marvin Dykhuis offers a great tour through the ideas that have made Austin such a musical center down through the years. Come and hear some classic sounds from the Live Music Capital of the World!

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.

Take a trio of classically trained dueling fiddlers\, toss in a rhythm guitar\, a banjo and the occasional funky accordion\, then power it with the driving rhythm of a world percussionist\, and you've got the ingredients for a show you won't soon forget. Scythian's high-energy\, adrenaline-peddling\, interactive brand of music is the result of their origins as street performers and has one goal in mind - to get people up on their feet and dancing. Their repertoire ranges from traditional and contemporary Celtic and folk music to the alluring and dramatic strains of Gypsy and Eastern European tunes\, and then crosses back over the border to pick up some good old-fashioned bluegrass licks. Scythian is: Josef Crosby (fiddle/bass)\, Alexander (fiddle/mandolin) & Danylo Fedoryka (accordion/guitar)\, Ben-David Warner (fiddle/banjo) and Andrew Toy (percussion).\n UID:13330-1184472@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/13330 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:music,scythian,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. 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.
