Mind and Hands: The MIT Glass Lab
August 15 – October 21, 2018
Please join us in celebrating Mind and Hands: The MIT Glass Lab. 
“Mens et Manus” – “Mind and Hands” – is the motto of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). It perfectly describes the spirit of the MIT Glass Lab. Hosted by MIT’s Department of Materials Science and Engineering, the Glass Lab has existed for more than 40 years. It is a place where MIT students from a wide array of backgrounds in science and engineering learn the ancient art of glass blowing, working in teams and exploring artistic approaches to glass.  Open to all members of the MIT community, the Glass Lab is fertile ground for the propagation of hybrid ideas. Mind and Hands is a celebration of artwork that illustrates the collision of art and science, made by Glass Lab students, instructors, and alumni.

A Stained Glass Village

November 12 – December 30, 2018

The Sandwich Glass Museum is pleased to present A Stained Glass Village: From the Collection of Annalise and Tom Nelson, featuring over 100 illuminated stained glass houses and churches augmented with hand-made glass trees and animals. 

“Stained glass” generally refers to the process of combining various shapes of already colored glass with (traditionally) strips of lead. The stained-glass houses, along with the lamp-worked flora and fauna, made by both American and European artists, may have taken upwards of 20 hours to complete a single house.

Little vignettes of quaint stained glass communities at twilight will enchant guests both young and old.

The Sandwich Glass Museum is delighted to share this magical collection throughout the holiday season.

“Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can't go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.”
― Margaret Atwood, The Penelopiad

“They picked up shells and sea glass, pebbles smooth and white. The wind blew and the surf hissed warm over their toes, sucked the sand from under their soles. The rhythm, the pulse of the sea soothed and electrified.”
