  • Dinner on Glass @FireArtsVermont

    Dinner on Glass combines fine dining, glass blowing, and performance art into a dazzling and unforgettable feast for all the senses.

    Glass artist Randi Solin’s Brattleboro studio is the setting for diners to watch artists and chefs work together to create an exquisite multi-course meal cooked entirely on hot glass. This one-of-a-kind, genre-defying, culinary experience will be led by glass artist Robert DuGrenier and chef Alex Sorenson of Blank Slate Kitchen. Proceeds benefit BMAC and the Vermont Glass Guild.

    The process of cooking with molten glass is one that requires great skill. When glass first comes out of the fire, its temperature reaches approximately 2,100 degrees Fahrenheit. The glass quickly reduces in heat, leaving the chef a small window of time to cook the ingredients. Once the glass cools to 1,200 degrees or lower, there is an increased risk of the glass shattering. The result is a thrilling demonstration of artistic ingenuity and technical expertise.

    Proceeds benefit BMAC and the Vermont Glass Guild.

He moved to Taft Hill Farm in West Townshend, Vermont, 20 years later and opened Robert DuGrenier Glass Art Gallery in Townshend. Long enamored of interactive and immersive experiences, DuGrenier enjoys combining his loves of making glass and growing and eating delicious food.

He has lived and worked in France, Rwanda, and Borneo. Sorenson recently relocated to West Townshend, Vermont, where his passion for local food and community inevitably led to his connecting with DuGrenier, with whom he has collaborated on numerous art/culinary events.

    Randi Solin has been working in glass for over 30 years, She established Solinglass, her Brattleboro, Vermont, glass studio in 1998.
