Join us Friday February 7th as we welcome Laurel Baertschi to the taproom as our Featured Artist of the month! We are very excited to have one of our Branch & Bone Family members grace us with beautiful pieces of art here in our taproom. Not only is it inspiring to have one of our employees hang up parts of their hard work, but these pieces stand out in a whole different way. Laurel creates with stained glass!
Laurel has been living in Dayton for 5 years now. Being born and raised in San Diego she has always had a great appreciation for art but never created herself. That all changed about 3 years ago when a group of friends introduced her to stained glass. When asked about making art out of glass she had this to say: “I never considered creating myself until I was introduced to the medium of stained glass by other artists in the field. I fell in love with it. It is a very forgiving art form. The material itself is so beautiful. It’s hard to mess up! I find much inspiration from the natural world and my pieces primarily reflect floral and aquatic images. I love to experiment with color and structure and see how each piece unfolds.”
Just one glimpse at Laurel’s work and you can feel the inspiration she’s portraying in each piece of glass. Colorful and delicate with precision, the art she creates is definitely something to see. Join us for awesome art and delicious beer as we celebrate with Laurel for her first Artist Showcase.
