OK - so it has nothing to do with glass or the Washington Glass School - this is a video that will leave you gobsmacked. Demolition of a concrete flour mill in Turkey that went wrong.
Juried by the senior curator of the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Virginia Mecklenburg, two of Erwin Timmers' cast glass sculptures were selected from the over 400 artworks submitted, and will be featured in the 2009 review of artwork by artists of the Mid Atlantic at the Hoyt Institute of Fine Arts.
The exhibit opens September 15 and runs through October 23, 2009. Opening Reception is Sept 20, from 2-4 pm

The Phillips Museum of Art selected our eco-artist Erwin Timmers’ recycled cast glass artwork for an innovative exhibit "SALVAGE: Reclaiming Recycling." Works in the exhibit were chosen from a national call to artists.
With current emphasis on green initiatives, the exhibit, “comprising 100% used and found objects, will challenge people to rethink their relationships with 'disposable' objects," said Christine Batta, one of the curators. "We want to challenge artists to reduce their carbon footprint, while making the public more aware of the different ways one can be more sustainable" added co-curator Nicole DeAugustine.
The exhibition opens on September 10 and will run through October 30, 2009 in the Rothman Gallery and the Sally Mather Gibson Curriculum Gallery at the Museum.
An artists’ reception and awards presentation will take place Saturday, Sept. 19 at 1 PM.
According to Ted Sawyer, who runs BE’s research and education department, the closer you get to the strain point of soda-lime glass, the less time you need to spend in anneal soak. Stress in the glass relaxes more quickly at 900 than it does at 960.
Shorter anneals are advantageous for folk who make a living with glass art, since it means they spend less time in production with every piece. It could shave 200 hours off the schedule for an 8-inch thick kilncast piece. And if the glass is cooling over a shorter temperature range, the risk of breaking may be less.
Bullseye also emphasized (strongly) that there’s nothing wrong with the old schedules. They can still be used.
BE does not have all their new tables online, but here is their thick annealing schedule: Bullseye_annealing_thick_slabs
