"You can have a piece that’s completely polished in bright colors in two days out of the oven. It forces spontaneity because you can’t set the piece down. You have to finish it [...] there’s simply no other material that is as spontaneous as glass.” Brothers Jamex and Einar de la Torre, whose solo exhibition is currently on view at the McNay, discuss their decades-long love for this fiery yet delicate artistic medium with Arts & Culture Texas: https://lnkd.in/dRZxmgks 🔥 Catch them in action at their Live Glassblowing Demonstration and Artist Conversation at the McNay on June 13: https://lnkd.in/dRd4TtDX #mcnayartmusuem #latinxart #chicanoart #glassblowing
