Summer Art Show & Celebration

July 16, 2026

On August 9th, 2026 we are holding our Summer Art Show and Celebration event from 5pm to 8pm at our shop in Invermere. 2026 marks 38 years of glassblowing and 25 years in our current location. While our Invermere shop has changed a lot over the last 25 years, most notably our downsizing seven years ago, the changes inside are almost nothing compared to the ones that have happened around us. We used to be nearly the only building in this whole upper area, and where the Canadian Tire is across the road, there used to be horses running through a grassy field!

On August 9th, our artists will be on-site to chat with, new work will be unveiled, we will be holding a 2nds Sale, and we will have snacks and beverages for you to enjoy.

We will be open during our regular hours from 10 AM to 4PM as well, but will be rearranging things for the event during the hour that we're closed before reopening our doors at 5 PM and remaining open until 8 PM.

Please enjoy the following photos of our shop over the last 25 years.
