Goblet Week Returns at The Museum of Glass

Goblet Week returns January 15–19, 2025!

Goblet Week
January 15–19
Goblet making has long been a tradition across many cultures worldwide.
In the Pacific Northwest, artists and makers have been steeped in the Italian approach to glassmaking through the Studio Glass movement, and Venetian-style goblets are a fixture in our local glassmaking scene. These goblets are notable for their thinness and complexity. As our culture becomes increasingly dependent on technology, it also becomes detached from the handmade. Goblet Week began with the mission to highlight the magic of handmade functional glass pieces — specifically, Venetian-style goblets.
Goblet Week will feature five Visiting Artists who are some of the best in the game in this style: Jason Christian, Jen Elek, Jason McDonald, and Michael Schunke.
Each artist will spend their day in the Hot Shop showcasing their unique approach to making goblets (or “cups,” as they are affectionately called by the artists). On Sunday, the Museum of Glass Hot Shop Team will take center stage and conclude the week making their signature goblet designs. Sunday’s programming will also feature a lecture on Venetian goblets by Hot Shop Emcee Walter Lieberman at 1pm. Each day, audiences will learn about the different techniques and processes used by each artist in their goblet designs. See below for more about the artists.
Additionally, Museum of Glass will host an Artist Reception + Wine Tasting and Goblet Sale the evening of Saturday, January 18.
We’ll see you at Goblet Week!

On view through March 30, 2025
Shoalwater Bay Indian Tribe artist Eugene Landry (1937-1988) was a gifted painter who captured local scenery and people. He was largely forgotten outside the Tribe until 2019 when Judith Altruda found nearly 70 of his paintings in a barn. Learn about Landry’s creative spirit and legacy in this exhibition.

Concert in the Cone
2025-02-20 08:00 - 17:00
Concert in the Cone: Naeim Rahmani
February 20 | 6–7pm
FREE
Seattle-based classical guitarist Naeim Rahmani joins MOG for a Concert in the Cone collaboration with Hilltop Artists! Rahmani will perform a program of works that highlight the theme of impermanence, a central concept in both music and glassblowing. In music, the transience of sound creates a sense of urgency, urging both the artist and the listener to embrace each moment for what it is, knowing it will soon pass. In glassblowing, the material’s fleeting state during the creative process mirrors the urgency of the moment, where the artist must act swiftly to mold the glass before it solidifies into its final, unchanging form. Both art forms challenge us to confront time directly – whether it is the passing of each note or the quick cooling of molten glass – emphasizing that time is both a limiting and defining force.
Performed in the Hot Shop with live glassblowing by Hilltop Artists students, this is a multi-sensory experience not to be missed. Fun for all ages, and FREE with support from Tacoma Creates!
This performance is part of Museum of Glass free-admission Third Thursday programming. Seats in the Hot Shop are first come, first served, so please plan on arriving promptly!
