An immersive installation in the Mezzanine Gallery explores the delicate balance between protection and exposure through organic forms inspired by nature, including swallow nests, seed pods, and barnacles. Clustered pod sculptures suggest the warmth of home while hinting at hidden interiors, inviting a closer look at what lies beneath the surface. Centered on themes of transformation and psychology, the work treats darkness and discomfort as catalysts for growth. The evolving community of nests welcomes interaction, photography, and ongoing participation, creating an experience that is both personal and shared. The installation is by multimedia artist Sylvia Eichmann, a Swiss and American dual national based in Loveland, whose conceptual practice reflects psycho-spiritual interests shaped by years of living, studying, and exhibiting across several continents. She maintains a studio at Artworks Center for Contemporary Art.

Discover the beauty of stained glass as you create a radiant Tiffany-style sun catcher in a beginner-friendly class at The Artisan Shop & Studio. No prior experience is required. You will learn the traditional copper foil method with step-by-step guidance, starting by selecting one of four carefully designed patterns that showcase color and light. From there, you will grind and fit pre-cut glass pieces, apply copper foil, and practice hands-on soldering to bring your piece together. Everyone completes one sun catcher that is ready to display. All materials and tools are provided, including pre-cut glass, copper foil and solder, grinding equipment, safety gear, and instruction. Because stained glass involves detailed work, some participants may need more time than the scheduled class period, and additional time can be discussed during class. The cost is $65. This class is open to ages 16 and up, with a parent or guardian required for participants 17 and under due to the use of soldering tools. Registration is accepted only through the organizer’s official website or the Our Town Market Eventbrite page, and is not handled through third-party sites, social media messages, or unofficial links. Cancellations made online at least seven days in advance receive a full refund.
