Bethlehem Burners will be sponsoring this year’s Glassroots Functional Art Show in Asheville, North Carolina. The event runs from October 7th – 9th and features various glass artists and industry companies promoting their products.
We’ll be located at booth #106, and will have a show sale sponsored by Mountain Glass Arts. Stop by to get a first-hand look at our torches paired with the new Swivel Base, as well as our limited edition Black Oxy Knobs.
A charity flame-off will be held the afternoon of October 6th. Work from the flame-off will be auctioned on October 9th at Level 42 Gallery, where attendees will have the chance to bid on the various glasswork. All winning bids will be donated directly to Beads of Courage, a charity set on providing arts-in-medicine supportive care programs for children coping with serious illness.
During the flame-off auction, we’ll be selling raffle tickets to win a $250 gift card to Mountain Glass Arts along with a Bethlehem Burners torch face pendant. Be sure to look for Vice President, Kate Hayes, to purchase your tickets.
Glassroots is designed for artists and distributors who wish to do wholesale business with shops and galleries. Much of the work is directly represented by the artists themselves in a family-friendly environment with emphasis on quality glass art craftsmanship. After 10 years of operation in Madison, Wisconsin, the event is moving over to the east coast in hopes of new opportunities for collaboration and networking.
