About
Patrick Vrolyk has been blowing glass for over 25 years. Inspired by the colourful pipes he saw on Grateful Dead tour lots, he tried his hand at the craft and quickly discovered his talent and affinity for it. Under the moniker Redbeard Glass he became a legend in Canada’s burgeoning underground glass scene.
Jan Little learned to create the illusion of life and to craft a good story in Emily Carr University’s film animation department, and carried those tools into her painting practice. She painted in Canada’s South Okanagan for 20 years before spending a few years migrating through BC’s coastal mountains, Vancouver Island, and the West Kootenays, and finally settling in Eastend Saskatchewan in 2025.
Join to watch these artists in action, ask questions and perhaps pick up a piece of their work to cherish in your own home for years to come.
