Cal Club Courtyard at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido (CCAE)

On April 18 and 19, we invite the community to witness the mesmerizing art of live glassblowing in the Cal Club Courtyard at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido (CCAE). This two-day demonstration, led by renowned glass artist James Stone of Stone & Glass, will showcase the precision, artistry, and transformative beauty of molten glass in motion.

 

As part of Escondido’s Arts, Culture, and Creativity Month,

This event is made possible by a grant from the Escondido Public Art Commission. More than just a demonstration, it is a celebration of community, accessibility, and artistic exploration. Guests will have the opportunity to engage with six talented glass artists, including participants from the 55Acre Project, who will be displaying and selling their handcrafted works. This interactive experience provides a rare glimpse into an ancient art form and fosters a deeper appreciation for creativity in all its diverse expressions.

**Hot Glass, Cold Beer: A Fundraiser for the Arts**

In the spirit of community support and cultural engagement, we are excited to announce “Hot Glass, Cold Beer,” a special fundraising initiative benefiting the CCAE Foundation. James Stone and participating artists have generously donated hand-blown glass cups, which will be given away with a complimentary drink ticket in exchange for a $25 donation. This initiative not only raises vital funds for arts programming but also provides guests with a unique keepsake—an artistic reminder of the power of creativity.
