Flame Run Art Glass Studio,
828 E. Market Street
Flame Run contemporary art glass studio will celebrate the Beatles in “Twist and Shout,” an exhibit that will open the weekend of Abbey Road on the River and run through July 25. Flame Run co-owner Brook Forrest White Jr. said the idea for the exhibit came to him when he realized the Beatles’ song “Twist and Shout” could be about glass blowing. “Glass blowing is about action, motion and vitality,” White said. “When you blow glass, you are constantly twisting and turning the blow pipe.” The show includes work by John Miller, of Champaign, Ill., as well as these artists from Louisville: Eoin Breadon, Matt Randy, Casey McMains, White and Flame Run co-owner Susie Slabaugh White. White said the art reflects the artists’ diverse response to the show’s theme. “Some pieces have been inspired by Beatles songs and other pieces are simply representative of song titles,” said White, who noted that the show includes a yellow submarine and a silver hammer, a reference to "Maxwell's Silver Hammer,” a song from the Abbey Road album. |
Flame Run also will be hosting members of Women 4 Women that night , which is a local non-profit organization. ( www.w4w.com ) They will have a table set up with information about their organization and the upcoming Champions 4 Her 5k Walk, Run and Festival, taking place on June 21st.
Additionally, Susie Slabaugh-White will be doing a glass blowing demonstration, and the piece will be live auctioned off as a donation to their organization. |
