A followup to my Seattle earthquake comment about a glass studio: The SJ Mercury News printed an article on the many valuable glassworks that were destroyed by the quake. “Chihuly lost 10 pieces from his private collection” and a few of his pieces on public display are probably sitting in a trash heap now (though, I think someone should really do something else artsy with the shards). Josi Callan, who used to run the San Jose Museum of Art, carries “quake hold” wax in her purse, and often sticks pieces down when she sees unsecured art. Callan is opening a Museum of Glass and International Center for Contemporary Art in Tacoma next year. Gotta get to that one.
