Mosaic Makers: The Magic of Glass with Darren Goodman
Monday, July 6 at KANEKO, Omaha
About
Watch molten glass come to life during a live demonstration, then create colorful glass mosaics of Earth and French fries with artist Darren Goodman. This hands-on workshop gives kids a fun introduction to glass art. Parents are welcome to watch.
Who's playing
Darren Goodman leads the workshop as the featured glass artist. KANEKO describes Goodman as an Ohio-born artist introduced to glassblowing in college, a Bowling Green State University graduate, and an artist whose practice emphasizes the material properties of glass, collaboration, and the performance side of glassmaking.
What to expect
The workshop begins with a live glass-blowing demonstration, giving kids a close look at molten glass becoming art. After the demonstration, participants work alongside Goodman to create two hands-on mosaic projects: a glass mosaic of planet Earth and a mosaic of glass French fries.
Why go
This is a welcoming introduction to glass art for kids who learn best by seeing and making. At KANEKO in Omaha, the format pairs the drama of a live molten-glass demonstration with a take-part mosaic activity, while parents can stay and watch the creative process unfold.
