    Big thanks to everyone who is on board with this project. We are looking forward to throwing one hell of a show and at the same time producing works of art available at auction benefiting the Belle Isle Aquarium. The support from the glass community and our sponsors is astounding. Please join us as we raise money for our cause and strengthen bonds between glass artists. This is big. See you there!

    I almost forgot to add that Sepulworld will be demonstrating his elusive wooden punty technique right after his fruit roll up lampshade workshop at the projects secondary annex location at Dexter and Linwood on the city's north side. You must preregister for the the workshop as space is limited due to location. This is a VIP only event.

    Here's a video featuring Robert Mickelsen. He will be demonstrating at the Project. We feel very fortunate to have him on board and look forward to seeing what he makes while he is here. Found this one of RAM and Eusheen building a real beauty.

    Bob Snodgrass is unarguably the Godfather of the color changing pipe. We are beyond honored to have him as a special guest at The Michigan Glass Project. Here is an excellent video that showcase not only his glass but his character.

    This should be a really good time.

    The Michigan Glass Project presents

    "DEGENERATE ART: THE ART AND CULTURE OF GLASS PIPES"
    A Film By: M. Slinger

    Movie Trailer:http://www.degenerateartfilm.com/trailer.html

    "Degenerate Art" tells the story of glass pipe-making from the origins of the "color-changing" pipe, to the radical emerging art movement it has become today. Despite federal laws, pipe-makers have created a whole new genre of American folk art. A huge multi-million dollar industry has formed around this taboo culture. This subversive art challenges our right to free speech and expression, as well as reflecting the nature of the people who make and collect the pieces. One of the last true underground American scenes, glass pipe art remains invisible to mainstream culture.

    The Michigan Glass Project is associated with the Colorado Project, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Our mission is to unite the artistic glass community through charitable events that showcase the talent and culture of Michigan. The Michigan Glass Project is gearing up for this year's three-day fundraising collaborations. Artists from around the globe will come together to make collaborative aquatic-based themed installations. Proceeds from the sale of the installations, along with silent auction art work and monetary donations will go towards re-opening the Belle Isle Aquarium.

    Sponsored by: 42 Degrees, Glasscraft, Glassroots Art Show, Urban Pheasant Glass and Eastside Sprouts

    We will be announcing the final line up and list of events this week. Thanks for taking time to checking this out.

    Glasscraft will be preselling Skutt Kilns at a discounted price available for pickup at The Michigan Glass Project in Detroit next month. We will be bringing in both Skutt Scarabs and Skutt Crucible Furnaces. These kilns will be used once during the event. We will have booths at both the Project, June 15-17, and at the Glass Art Society Conference just down the road in Toledo, Ohio from June 13-17. If you are interested in purchasing one of these kilns at a great deal email Sean at [email]smueller@glasscraftinc.com.

    Get to Detroit if you can. We intend on balling out pretty hard and raising a stack of cash for the Belle Isle Aquarium. We have a ton of events planned around the project and are excited to show people our city. GAS is going on at the same time 40 minutes away in Toledo which gives us an oppurtunity to expose soft glass makers to our community. Slinger playing his movie on Sunday is going to be a big exclamation point and gives us a platform for discussion. You never know who is going to walk through the door at these things. This is going to be fun. We have a solid line up and are going to make piles of amazing glass. Hope to see all you there. My name is Drew, make sure to introduce yourselves if you make it.
