SUMMARY:Sue Kim and Zeke Spier Demo ♿
DESCRIPTION:Mini Mart City Park is pleased to host Sue Kim and Zeke Spier for a flameworking demonstration in our main gallery space. Kim and Spier are partners and glassblowers living in Burien\, WA. They collaborate in both flameworking and hot shop glass blowing. They are inspired by the unseen and lesser understood parts of natural systems along with the material itself. They love glass and strive to make objects that capture its fluid and optical qualities. \nPratt Fine Arts Center is their third place. They both learned glassblowing there and now teach a borosilicate cup-making workshop when they’re not in the hot shop. They have also studied at Pilchuck Glass School. Their work can be found at boutiques around Seattle and the Museum of Glass gift shop. \nTheir demonstration will take place in the main gallery space where Kim and Spier will showcase some of their more botanical motifs consistent in their respective practices. This demonstration compliments Mini Mart City Park’s current exhibition of photographs on glass by local artist\, Winifred Westergard on view through Nov 16\, 2025.

SUMMARY:During the Exposure: An exhibition by Winifred Westergard ♿
DESCRIPTION:Mini Mart City Park is ecstatic to host artist Winifred Westergard in an exhibition of new works on glass. Mini Mart City Park is a non-profit arts organization dedicated to arts\, education\, environmental action\, and community collaboration in the Duwamish Valley. Sitting on a transformed brownfield site\, MMCP is both cleaning the community we are a part of while serving it all the same. This exhibition will be open to the public every week through November 16\, Thursday through Sunday\, 12-5p. Come by and see us!\nAmbrotypes were a photographic technique from the mid-19th century\, one of many as the discoveries of photography were evolving. They were made using hand coated\, light sensitized\, “plates” of glass and exposed in large format cameras. Subjects were required to hold still for extended periods of time\, resulting in faces with no expression.\nWet plate is the term for a process which includes metal and glass substrates: aluminum for tintypes\, glass for ambrotypes. Each plate is coated with a light sensitizing collodion silver nitrate mixture just prior to exposure. The single plate is then loaded into a film holder\, quickly taken to the camera that has already been set up\, the exposure is made\, and then back into the darkroom to process the exposed plate before any drying occurs. What appears as the image after the short chemical development is always a marvel. \nWinifred Westergard is a Seattle based fine art and commercial photographer with degrees from the University of Washington and Cornish College of the Arts in Creative Writing\, Journalism and Art. Her art making foundation is rooted in the early processes of photography\, fully embracing the slow processes of 19th century photography. She is a visual creator with a strong base on human emotion and storytelling. She has managed the photography studio at Cornish College of the Arts since 1999 and has taught Photography and Portfolio Development through Summer@Cornish since 2003.
