A Review in the Washington Post.

The Washington Glass School Exhibit was reviewed in the by Michael O'Sullivan in the Washington Post. 


I even got a mention:
Take, for example, the work of Sean Hennessey. In a manner of speaking, the artist hides large portions of his cast-glass panels (which depict light bulbs and electrical plugs in shallow bas relief) under schmears of colored concrete, effectively burying the glass in the dirt. For Hennessey -- as for his fellow artists Michael Janis, Allegra Marquart and Kirk Waldroff, all of whom are storytellers of a sort -- the medium is secondary to the message.


Plus they used an image of my work in the print version. 




We will be holding an Artist's Talk on Sunday June 5th from 3 to 4pm.
Come on by if you want to hear more about our work.

Artists of the Washington Glass School

The First Ten Years

show dates

May 19 – June 19

opening reception

thursday, May 19 6:30 – 8:30PM

the Washington DC area has become international renowned as an emerging center of glass art. At the forefront of this charge is the Washington glass school, where, for the past ten years, the instructors, artists and student have brought narrative and content into glass, dragging it away from decorative craft and into the rarified atmosphere of “fine art.” the Washington glass school has produced artists whose art can be found in museums and collections worldwide and is advancing the studio glass movement with its explorations of narrative content, technology and skills.

Washington’s long view gallery presents “artists of The Washington Glass school – The First Ten Years” showcasing ten years of integrating glass into the contemporary art dialogue. While it recognizes the past and present, The First Ten Years is intended to instigate – and celebrate – the new directions contemporary glass is exploring through various artistic metaphors. featured artists include: Tim Tate, Michael Janis, Erwin Timmers, Elizabeth Mears, Robert Kincheloe, Syl Mathis, Lea Topping, Sean Hennessey, Dave D’orio, Kirk Waldroff, Robert Wiener and others.
