Happy-Go-Lucky/Devil-May-Care

If you've been to Third Degree within the past year, you've most likely seen studio director Cole Harmon in the hot shop doin' his thing — which could mean blowing glass, narrating a demo, leading a team building, fixing equipment, or sprucing up the joint.

Titled Happy-Go-Lucky/Devil-May-Care, his upcoming exhibition May 7-June 26 will feature mixed media work incorporating steel and stone components. It's an exercise in compartmentalization. One section, Happy-Go-Lucky, is comprised of blown pieces and seeks solely to put a smile on the viewer’s face.

The second section, Devil-May-Care, features a selection of his heavier (literally and figuratively) cast glass and steel sculptures. These pieces are much more narrative in nature, with themes of environmentalism and self-awareness.
