Today I visited a local glass studio and gallery to see an exhibit by Markow & Norris that featured a hand woven glass sculpture titled “Autumn Sunset Kimono.” This life-sized Japanese kimono was intricate in design and full of vibrant colors. I was so awestruck how these artists translated a beautiful Japanese art form into glass. It was absolutely amazing, as you will see in the photo below.

I would have never known about this exhibit if I did not read through the weekend section of the Washington Post. Looking through your local paper can help you find activities at unfamiliar establishments in your community. Before you plan your next cultural outing, pick up your local newspaper for ideas.
