From October 17, 2013 through January 10, 2014, CoCA will present a group exhibition focused on flameworked borosilicate glass associated with the emergence of cannabis legalization: pipes, bubblers, tubes, vaporizers, jars, marbles, scientific glass, and other functional categories as well as non-functional fine art inspired by the movement will be considered.

Artists juried into Ceci N’est Pas Une Pipe will be featured in a color catalog compiling artists’ statements, biographies, and images, as well as introductory essays by David Francis (Museum of Glass Curator), and Hillary Ryan (Museum of Glass Communications Director), co-curators. The catalog is designed and published by CoCA and available to artists at cost.

Ceci N’est Pas Une Pipe will be on display at CoCA’s Georgetown gallery, located inside the Seattle Design Center, Suite 258, at 5701 6th Avenue South, Seattle WA 98108, open 9-5, M-F. An opening reception occurs on on Thursday, October 17. A flame-off (flameworking demo) by participating artists, is under consideration.
