What is glassblowing?
In the words of Mark: "Glassblowing is much akin to a dance; the artist moves with respect and knowledge of the partner. Each has an important contribution to the final piece, but only one will lead – the artist. The dance, when completed, yields an object that was only conceived in one’s imagination or on paper, a tangible work as a result of collaboration between artist and material."
Bruno Prager, Alessandra Grando, and Mark Rosenbaum are pooling their talents for a unique event:
an afternoon of yoga and art instruction all in one.
In the historic and serene neighborhood of Algiers Point, we will by hosted by Mark, a master glass blower, at his Rosetree Blown Glass Studio where you'll produce your own glass piece coached by him and instructed in his unique approach to an ancient art.
Alessandra and Bruno will guide you through a wonderful yoga practice inspired by the Kaiut Method, a unique, impactful wellness tool and a profound evolution in the ancient art of yoga.
Join us for a relaxing afternoon where you can open your body and mind in a stimulating and restorative yoga class and express new-found creativity with the ancient art of glassblowing!
Yoga for Art's Sake!
