Toledo Museum of Art
VIRTUAL EVENT
Friday, February 11, 2022 | 7 p.m.
Toledo Museum of Art’s 50th GAPP artist Percy Echols II will give a free lecture discussing his process and residency.
Percy Echols II began working in glass in 2011 where he took his first Glassblowing Class at Illinois State University. In 2014 he took his first Plasma Light workshop at Pilchuck Glass School, where he met his long-time friend and mentor Pat Collentine. Percy took home this experience to apply what little he knew of this process to the success of his graduating exhibition. After graduating in 2015 with a BFA, he moved to Pittsburgh in 2016 for a year-long apprenticeship at Pittsburgh Glass Center which quickly became his new home. With the support of PGC, along with his podcast and educational project, Taming Lightning, he is currently researching and developing as space for Neon and Plasma Sculpture as an artistic medium.
This virtual event is free, but registration is required; the live-stream link will be emailed to participants in advance.
