Hudson Beach Glass Philadelphia

Pull A Glass Flower For Valentine's Day.

I'm not going to claim that Valentine's Day is the most important holiday of the year. Or even one of the top 10. Heck, I put flag day above it (also happens to be my wedding anniversary so I'm a little biased) but that doesn't mean you shouldn't come up with something totally original and cool to do with your sweetheart. I can tell you right now that your special someone would appreciate making their own flower, or receiving a flower you made, much more than getting a dozen flowers that someone else grew.

And this is your only chance to make a flower (outside of a party) until May. That's right May. So call today to book your appointment for the 13th or 14th of February. 267-319-1887

"Through the Looking Glass" opens February 5th

This First Friday we have a very cool and unique show opening. "Through the Looking Glass" is a mirror show by Brian Foster. The first time I went to Brian's studio I felt like I'd landed in my dream world. He's got a giant warehouse (former bakery) filled with all sorts of awesome junk. Antique slabs of marble share space with huge tree stumps, old prints, and finished dining room tables. When Brian showed me his mirrors I knew we had to do a show. As an artist, the garden and horticulture have always informed Brian's work. Combining natural images with vintage paper ephemera inspires him to create the beautiful graphics that are collaged on to one of a kind antique mirrors.

Brian Foster is a Philadelphia designer. His interest in floral imagery began in 1994 when he created a series of botanical studies reproduced from an antique herbarium found in London. Brian has never shown his mirrors before in a gallery setting and we are very proud to host this show.

Please join us on February 5th from 6-9 for the opening reception of "Through the Looking Glass" by Brian Foster.

We also will have new neon piece in our transom. This month Len Davidson is loaning us a neon sign from his collection. Len Davidson began collecting old neon signs in the mid-1970s and established the Neon Museum of Philadelphia in 1985. The Museum's mission is to preserve, restore and display classic neon signs for the public to enjoy. About 100+ neon pieces in the collection date to the 1950's and earlier. I don't know what he's bringing but I'm guessing it's going to rock.

Watch for the last dish that chef Garces serves. That blue bowl is just perfect if I do say so myself.
