Open Studio at Magic Sands

I had a great time assisting Peter Vazzusi for All County Open Studio. We had many visitors watching us blow art works and create new glass ware. This is my second or third time demonstrating and making work for Peter at Magic Sands Contemporary Glass in Aptos CA.

It was an enormous success as it usually is but the anticipation can be stressful. The Open Studios roll around once per year so there is a buzz around it. There has to be a period of production throughout the year to have enough inventory for the guests. Magic Sands had plenty of inventory to supply the demand.

Open Studio and the Arts Council promote the event County wide and it has a loyal following. I even saw my parents neighbors by surprise. All in all it was a fun time and someday we’ll do it again.

Thanks for reading!
