| Details: | In traditional glassblowing, it is common for artists to make chalk drawings on a hot shop floor to serve as guides to the glassblowers for the exact look of the final piece. For many, this is a crucial part of the process. It is a way to map out the methods they will use, consider composition, and lock in the overall design. World-renowned illustrator Walter Lieberman has provided a unique layer of artistry and education to Museum of Glass as Hot Shop Emcee for over a decade. Lieberman takes the practical tradition of floor chalk drawings to a new level – using his detailed, instructive sketches to educate and engage the public and share the intricate techniques being used by the glassblowers. These works of art allow audiences to better follow along with the glassblowing process. His art is often a live demonstration, mirroring the Hot Shop Team’s work, with chalk as his medium.
