Museum of Glass…Tacoma, WA
September 16, 2009 | 
Author The Hotel Murano in Tacoma, Washington suggested we visit the Museum of Glass.
We had been invited to a glass blowing session at our resident glass blower in Surprise Valley. That experience was fascinating and as a homeschooling project it was incredible.
The working artist at the Museum of Glass work in pairs….on delicate, transparent compositions.
Shaping and sculpting…..
then into the fire……
and out again for more shaping and sculpting……
The works of art produced are delightful and whimsical….
and quite stunning !
Happy Infusions,
Kate

From Fun and Funky to Fabulous !
Onour way to Portland to visit our precious kids, we found an absolutely adorable Retro Motel in Grants Pass, Oregon….
the Motel del Rogue…..

Cutest little room with a kitchenette
and deck out back….
Great funky pink sun chairs……
The sparkling Rogue River just right for wading……
For those quiet, glass of wine and a good book moments, a multitude of books to choose from…right out your front door !
And then there was the Fabulous HOTEL MURANO in Tacoma, Washington….http://hotelmuranotacoma.com
The Glass Art Treasures are stunning !
The lobby is filled with unusual glass works……
Fishing lures by Rick Beck….
The Danish Artist Vibeke Skov flew to the hotel to install these three incredible colored glass Viking ships.
A uniquely designed “art wall” on each of the twenty-one floors features a single artist and their original work.
The world of glass at the Hotel Murano in Tacoma is an experience we won’t forget !!
Happy Infusions,
Kate
