Steve Feren, glass sculptor and former longtime head of the glass program at UW-Madison, is showing everybody what he does, which is a fascinating and meditative process that involves blowing air into a blob of molten glass. Not bad for something that starts as soda ash, limestone and sand. Demonstrations will take place from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Friday-Sunday, Dec. 3-19, at his studio at 2601 County Road MM, Fitchburg. Glass pieces will also be for sale in the connecting gallery.
