She received five scholarships to study at Pilchuck Glass School. Elin currently teaches Glass at San Francisco State University, and California College of Arts and Crafts.
 
“There lies a tension between the modern human effect on the natural worked and the often unappreciated depth of human dependence on that world. A vessel can hold safe the seeds of nature as we humans become stewards in the future health of the Earth and its natural resources. I choose salvaged natural materials. My goal is to seek out certain elements that I believe have been overlooked, to reuse, and celebrate the intrinsic worth of these hidden elements in the health of both human and natural systems…. In my work, I play with a sense of unseen energy, purpose and movement.”

Free Lecture, Demonstration & Reception.

Time
7-10pm

Funded in part by a grant from Office of Cultural Affairs, City of San Jose and Arts Council Silicon Valley.
