I've always had an affinity for the Navy Memorial on Pennsylvania Avenue across from the Archives.

My great grand father told me stories of his adventures as a shipworker in Baltimore and then in the navy in WWI. my grandfather raised me on his stories of service a PT boat in the south pacific during WWII.

I always think of them each and every time walk by this place. I also think about the terrific sculptures depicting different aspects of navy life.
here are all the relief sculptures

Baltimore Sun Reviews Fells Point Washington Glass School Show

From The Article
Though the Washington Glass School is not, strictly speaking, a "school" in the same sense as the Washington Color School was - that is, a distinct group of artists whose work is related by period, style and place - many of Tate's instructors share certain critical attitudes and assumptions regarding glass-making as art.

Perhaps the most important is their utter devotion to the idea of experimentation as a creative method. For them, any technique, imagery or material is a potentially viable approach if it enlarges the possibilities of expressive freedom.
