Crafting the Cocktail Opening

Our opening on December 6th was an incredible success. We had visitors old and new come to enjoy the show, many with drink in hand courtesy of Jordan Gold, self-titled magixologist. His gin punch was served in a bowl of rolling fog (thanks to a clever use of dry ice).

Many local artists in the show came to enjoy the festivities, including glass artists Joe Cariati, Nate Cotterman and Hiromi Takizawa, woodworker Victor DiNovi, and ceramicists Wyatt Amend and Raffi Lehrer.

See below for some highlights from the opening captured by cocktail photographer Nino Andonis.
