Craftsman Week Special Program:
Fire & Light Tour
Friday, October 17, at 10:00 a.m.
The Gamble House is a glass-lovers paradise containing exquisite glass windows, light fixtures, wall sconces, cabinets, and doors. Fire & Light, a 2-hour in-depth tour, explores the leaded art glass in The Gamble House.
Fire & Light looks at the Greenes' evolution of style; what led them to create some of the most celebrated art glass produced in an architectural setting; how the works were designed and produced; and the journey taken by the glass artists/craftsmen of the period.
Contemporary glass artist and Gamble House docent, John Hamm, has immersed himself in the history of art glass and the Arts and Crafts movement. He has restored glass fixtures in historic structures and has created period-appropriate glass for many contemporary craftsman-style houses. Combining his artisan skills with years as a tour guide, Mr. Hamm created and personally conducts this craftsman tour that focuses on glass while also touching on each area of the house that is normally on tour.
Interior masking is strongly encouraged, especially in larger groups.
