The New Street Glass Studio launches its fifth anniversary celebration by
welcoming two luminaries of the glass world to the WORCESTER CENTER FOR CRAFTS.

MARTIN ROSOL’s ground glass sculptures recall abstract connections between the earthly world of the oceans, the extraterrestrial world of the cosmos, and what lies between.

JOSH SIMPSON explores and expresses the colors, textures, and volcanic power of the universe through the creation of glass Planets, Saturns, and other provocative pieces.
