SEATTLE, Wash. - The underground world of “functional” glass
art will emerge in an established gallery at the 7th Annual Night
with Borosilicate on May 4th, 2013.
The event, hosted by Hot Glass Color & Supply and co-sponsored by
Piece of Mind, will feature live torch demonstrations, Seattle’s only glass art
pipe gallery show, a silent auction, raffle & technical workshops for glass
artists. The event will be held in the Belltown neighborhood, at the Seattle Glassblowing Studio space. Tickets for the evening’s events are $10 and
will be available at the door.
Although relatively unknown in the mainstream art world, a
vibrant scene has emerged around a new American folk art – elaborate, hand
blown glass pipes that are functional enough to use for smoking. These amazing
creations will come out of the shadows and into one of Seattle’s premier glass
art galleries for a night of glassblowing, camaraderie and charity. The
documentary film ‘Degenerate Art’ by Marble Slinger Productions helped popularize
this art form when it was released on Netflix in 2012. The passage of I-502,
the ballot initiative legalizing recreational marijuana use in Washington
State, is bringing wider recognition to this rebellious art form indigenous to
the Pacific Northwest.

A silent auction benefiting Smile Train will include unique functional glass art pieces from some of the world's best borosilicate glass artists. Smile Train is a life-changing non-profit that provides free cleft-lip and palate surgery to in-need children worldwide.
The borosilicate community has longstanding ties to Smile Train, which began when the artist known as Fugly suggested proceeds from the Chicago Project (a live charity glassblowing event) go to Smile Train. Seth True, a borosilicate artist, explains "It's hard to imagine changing the world, but it's easy to raise $250 and change a kid's life forever."
Throughout the evening, guests can win prizes from a
glass-themed raffle including tools, glass color, unique artwork, apparel and
more. Each guest will receive a limited number of tickets with admission and
additional tickets will be available for purchase at the door.
The event owes a special thanks to Seth True from TRUE glass for arranging the schedule of the torch show as well as the pre- and post- event glassblowing seminars.

These types of tobacco are often associated with the old cowboys and their consumption is on the increase. These forms of tobacco can be very addictive because their high nicotine content is absorbed very quickly through the gums. Herb-Tools
