July 7th, 2023 4:00-7:00PM First Friday!
We are very excited to be hosting Zach Rudolph at this month’s First Friday open studio event. Zach is a Santa Cruz native who began the practice of his craft at Seattle Glass Blowing Studio & Gallery in 1997, continued his study with masters in Murano, Italy, and as an apprentice to Dale Chihuly in Seattle. Now living in the San Francisco Bay Area, Zach shares his passion with students by teaching workshops at Palo Alto High and other local studios.
Zach’s work is colorful, unique, and imbued with his joy in the art. Please join us for a special evening with Zach at our Davenport studio gallery. Several of Zach’s pieces will be on display, and Zach will be performing demonstrations throughout the evening.
Our First Friday gallery also features recent works by Chris Johnson, Tyler Clark, and beautiful handmade jewelry by Corvetti.
