Artists are not well known for getting showcased on popular TV programs, but be sure you tune in Sunday morning to CBS Sunday Morning with Charles Osgood to see glass artists Eric Markow and Thom Norris. Considered to be the premiere woven glass artists in the world, Markow and Norris will demonstrate their artistry their studio where you can see them melt glass and work their magic.
But if you live in Chicago get right down to Navy Pier this weekend and you can meet them at SOFA and see these glass stars.
"With formidable technical skill and a keen eye for color, Markow and Norris prove that you don't need a loom - or even fiber - to weave." Craft Magazine
The only other person in our art fair world that I know of that has been profiled on this program is photographer Clyde Butcher with his luminous black and white images from the Everglades.
Well, I'm disappointed. It seems as though Sunday Morning did not show this story. Too bad, but I certainly do understand all the enthusiasm about the political news, although even though I usually enjoy Bill Geist's stories, I'd rather have seen the glass story than the bocce story.
I just looked at CBS website again and see the artist story is still listed, so I'm wondering if while I was off checking in on one of the news programs to see Doris Kearns Goodwin that they slipped the story in. Anyone know?
