Today, Michael and Katie are joined by special guest Claire Kelly to talk about the inspiration behind the piece she created for AMP’D at the Museum!!
AMP’D is our energetic take on a Members‑only party—featuring live glassblowing, live music, food, drinks, and after‑hours access to the Museum. Events like this are made possible by CMoG Members, whose support helps fund innovative exhibitions, care for our collection, inspire Hot Glass demonstrations by world‑renowned artists, and provide scholarships for artists and researchers.

Claire Kelly’s work examines the human connection with animals and their larger relationship to our world and environment. She has created a series of “fantastic microcosms that bring a consciousness to their decorative status,” she says. “My sculptures tell a story about the fragility and conservation of these small worlds as well as describing their role in a grander scheme. I’m curious about what we see in my toy-like animals and what they see when they look back.”
Claire’s work is exhibited internationally, and you can shop a selection of her pieces at the link here:
