Build a Glass Memorial for Beloved Teacher, Gloria White

Teaching was my mom's whole world. She brought such light to the young art community, and so much passion. In honor of my mom's memory I am partnering with The Krasl Art Center and Water Street Glassworks to construct a glass memorial.

This work will a free standing sculpture with a bright and colorful off-primary palette, with glass pieces mounted on a steel framework (which I will contribute my blacksmithing skill to).

My mom loved glasswork more than anything. She was so proud of a scar she got from a glasswork class that she took; she always said it looked like a dragonfly.

We have lost my mom in the most tragic way imaginable. It is beyond what I can fathom. Please help us make this memorial a reality. Help us to remember all of the light and joy, curiosity, and beautiful weirdness that she brought to the world; hopefully, in this, we can continue a little bit of the light and beauty that we lost when we lost her.

Love and Gratitude,

Allyson

This money will help fund my mom's memorial commission first; any additional funds will help support the costs of her celebration of life and the personal needs of her daughters, Allyson and Elias.
