Walk down the glass trail and explore new pieces from the region’s artists as the Festival of Glass returns to Drysdale for another year.
The Festival of Glass Expo will be held at Eversley Street Community Hub from 10am to 4pm on Sunday, August 31.
Mercedes Drummond said two new exhibitors would be featured during the event, and it would be a great chance for people to explore unique art pieces.
“I like watching people walk around being amazed and enjoying glass art, because people don’t understand just how versatile glass is,” she said.
“The versatility of glass is a strength because it is extremely strong… so you can melt it, slump it, and paint it; as glass is like a blank canvas.
“We will also have more glass art in the back garden area, so that’ll be something that will be a bit of a surprise as to what’s going to be displayed.”
The expo will feature glass art from artists across the region, with many activities available throughout the event, including demonstrations and a raffle.
The event is run each year by Festival of Glass Incorporated, a volunteer-based group that aims to explore and share the beauty of glass in its many art forms.
Entry into the event is $2 and free for kids aged five or younger.
