Best in Show winner creates another Masterpiece!

Everett Conklin, the winner of our Annual Glass as Art Contest held in April each year, has created another masterpiece!  Part of the grand prize this year included a hand drawn stained glass pattern of his choosing.  A few days after announcing the winners, Everett stopped by McMow with a photograph of what he wanted adapted into a pattern... he had been wanting to create it in glass for some time but wasn't quite sure how.  McMow was able to help him with this- from drawing the pattern to help picking the glass.  Everett has mastered the art of stained glass and recently began experimenting in fused glass.  He creates a very unique, successful look here by incorporating both of these techniques into his panel.  To see other works by Everett, stop by McMow where we are pleased to be displaying several of his pieces right now.

Artist of Palm Beach County at McMow!

The Artists of Palm Beach County held their monthly meeting on Monday March 12, 2012.  McMow was super excited to host!

There was a wonderful turn out of more than 30 artist, representing a variety of artistic interests. The group enjoyed a tour of our full production facility and then watched a glass fusing demonstration. McMow Master (and owner) Phil Materio discussed glass co efficiency, kiln-casting and dichroic glass with the meeting participants.

McMow Co-Owner, Taylor Materio was also on-hand to answer questions. She was excited to have such a wonderful group attend the meeting.

We work closely with local artists hosting teaching programs, studio space and an Annual Glass as Art contest each April.
