Enjoy tea and light refreshments while hearing from local glass artist Jennifer Halvorson, whose work explores family heritage, memory, and the ways values are passed from one generation to the next. Jennifer will share insights into her recent body of work—including pieces featured in her upcoming solo exhibition in Lafayette—and discuss how glass can hold both personal narrative and emotional resonance.
