Starting on February 6th, and continuing every one-to-two weeks through May 15th, the Museum of Glass in Tacoma, Washington, will broadcast live a Sunday-afternoon lecture series on the history of glass art by glass painter Walter Lieberman, who has been delivering a series of history talks at the museum since 2006. Each lecture will run 45 minutes and include slides of stand-out work from each time period, which starts with Ancient Roman glass and ends with the Studio Glass movement. The lectures will be followed by live glassmaking demonstrations by the Museum of Glass hotshop team, who will use period techniques to make work in the style of the era covered in the lecture. Lieberman will be on hand during these demos to narrate and answer any audience questions.
