REPORT
"Glass swooped, shaped and becomes artwork"
Glass sculpture is Joseph Drury's speciality.
He has a studio at Pendleton
Art Center.
"You
don't have to be a rocket scientist to enjoy Joseph Drury's work - but
just for the record, rocket scientists do like it. Drury, an artist from Fort Thomas, recently had one of his pieces of glass
artwork bought by a NASA astrophysicist to be displayed at NASA's Ames Research
Center in Moffett Field, Calif.
The
work, called "Dark Matter," will be on display at the center
where scientists research dark matter. That is matter that does not emit
or reflect enough electromagnetic radiation to be detected directly but
whose presence might be inferred from its gravitational effects on
visible matter.
As
with many of his works, Drury used recycled glass to make the sculpture.
"I think we should all be working toward a 100 percent
environmentally sustainable world in our art and in our lives,"
Drury said.
Drury
creates many of his designs at his Fort Thomas
home studio and completes his work in his kiln at the Pendleton Art
Center in Cincinnati.
Joe
Drury offers instruction workshops in kiln forming and glass on glass
enameling at his Pendleton Art Center Studio 512.
He
also offers workshops at The W.W. Carpenter Enamel Foundation Workshops
at: (859) 291-3800
650 Colfax Avenue Bellevue, KY 41073
Workshop
sessions included a wedding party group creating 28 "glass on
glass" enamel centerpiece bowls for their Cincinnati Freedom
Center Wedding.
His art is currently showing at the 5th Street Gallery at 55 W. Fifth St.
in Cincinnati
where he is a member artist. For more information about Drury and his

Making Art from blanks and scrap! 'Glass on Glass'
Enamel & Kiln forming Workshops
We are making Art from glass blanks and scrap Saturdays!
Space is available in Saturday workshops where you will learn Kiln
Forming with 'Glass on Glass' Enamel at the new W.W. Carpenter Enamel
Foundation. Workshops run 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm. Artist/Students can join
any number of Saturday sessions.
Recycled glass into Art
techniques are taught at these workshops:
Joe Drury’s unique 'Glass on Glass' powder enameling on recycled
glass techniques are taught. While these techniques can be applied to
enameling on any surface, the primary focus will be on learning how to
apply enamels to glass for Sculpture, Jewelry, Window Hangings, Bowl, and
Plate forms using transparent Thompson enamels. Design, glass
preparation, enamel application and finishing techniques are covered. The
workshops are suitable for all student levels from beginning through
advanced. Beginning students learn proper ways to apply and fire the enamel,
while those who have already learned to enamel will hone and perfect
their art and techniques while having questions answered about issues
with their art glass pieces. Each student produces at least one art work
per session.
Thompson Enamels, glass substrate shapes, and all other materials are
supplied for the workshops. Students register by contacting Joe Drury

Creating Carbon Neutral Glass Art:
DruryDesignArt and Planktos
Inc. Partner to Create Carbon Neutral Glass Art.
Joe Drury, DruryDesignArt.com and Planktos Inc.
Announced on Earth Day at The Chicago Green Festival an agreement in
principle to partner allowing an offset of carbon emissions generated in
the production of DruryDesignArt Kiln Formed
Recycled Glass Artwork.
A percentage of DruryDesignArt sales revenues
will be used to purchase carbon credit offsets. The making DruryDesignArt Glasswork will now be carbon neutral. DruryDesignArt challenges CO2 producing Art
enterprises and others to 'save the planet one artwork at a time'.
Planktos Inc. pioneers new technologies to
promote controlled ocean plankton blooms enlisting plankton to bind and
sequester CO2 as the plankton die and sink to the ocean floor. This
natural process has declined by 30% in recent years. Planktos
Inc. technologies vessels sail out and stimulate the re population of
plankton by re seeding the oceans with naturally occurring iron dust that
is no longer reaching the seas on the wind and by other natural means.
DruryDesignArt uses recycled glass from many sources to create glass
art sculpture.
'I think we should all be working toward a 100 % environmentally
sustainable world with our art and our lives,' Drury said. For more
