Mailoa is a glass artist and graphic designer from Indonesia. Glass is a vehicle for her to explore the narrative that occupies the space between her identity and surroundings. Her glassware combines glassblowing and kilnworking techniques to create contrasting elements that engage with the senses of sight and touch. Mailoa's mugs are available for purchase online and at the Belger Crane Yard Gallery through October 31, 2023.
Purchase a Mug of the Month even if you don't have a subscription! This means you can buy a mug by an artist you love when they become available. However, having a monthly subscription reserves your spot to receive a new mug every month before they’re made available to the public. | | | Digital Debut: Hoseok Youn | | Belger Arts’ Digital Debut artist Hoseok Youn debuts a collection of glass planters inspired by the shape, design, and delicate details of traditional goblets. He uses his knowledge of traditional techniques and design to create work that is uniquely his own. Hoseok Youn is a glassblower at the Belger Glass Annex. His glass planters will be on view and available for purchase at the Belger Crane Yard Gallery through October 31, 2023. | | | For more information about exhibitions, classes, and programs, please visit our website. |
