Michelle Pennington, a native of Toledo, Ohio - widely known as the Glass City - was destined to discover the art form that would become her life's passion.

Today, as owner and glass blower extraordinaire of High Gravity Glassworks in Shreveport, Michelle creates distinctive, handblown glass art and shares her expertise through glassblowing workshops at her studio. Her work reflects a lifelong passion for exploration, embracing creativity through fire, craftsmanship, and the experiences that continue to inspire her artistic journey.

Michelle will also be hosting a workshop on Saturday at her business location, High Gravity Glassworks. This is a free workshop!

Shreveport native, Irene Gaillon, is a visual artist whose work in acrylic and spray paint explores themes of community, family, and friendship. Through vibrant, uplifting imagery, she creates pieces that resonate with and inspire viewers.

Gallion was named Best of Show in the Visual Showcase at Critical MASS 13 and debuted her commissioned solo exhibition, HALL PASS, at this year’s Critical MASS 14. The exhibition remains on view at artspace through August 7, making Thursday the final opportunity to experience this remarkable collection.”
