Celebrate the NEW LOCATION of Saul Alcaraz's Santa Barbara Art Glass Studio at a special Opening Reception. There will be music and refreshments and a cake! Saul's 56th birthday is just around the corner (Oct 21), so it's a double celebration. He'll need help blowing out all the candles! Whether you know his beautiful work or not, this is the moment to see it in all its glory. The space is bigger and filled with his pieces. See what this humble man, who came to Santa Barbara as a teenager from Mexico with nothing and no one, has created. His enthusiasm is infectious and his personal story will move you. Saul has pursued his passion for glassblowing since 1988, using a variety of iridescent, translucent and dichroic glass. He is one of very few to have mastered the art of Tiffany glass, and is one of the last art glassblowers in town. This is an Open House event going on from 11:00 am until 5:00 pm. If you want to meet up with fellow Newcomers to check out the new studio, view the beautiful glass, and socialize -- we'll be there starting at 1:00 pm!
