SUMMARY:Top Hat Glassworks  ♿
DESCRIPTION:John Sharvin\, Bri Chesler\, and Minhi England are glass and mixed-media artists hosting an open studio event at Top Hat Glassworks. This shared live/work space was built from a vision of sustainability and community. \nJohn Sharvin’s practice is grounded in a technical understanding of mechanical systems and material applications. Inspired by space and mechanical infrastructures\, his work often incorporates humor to build narrative and evoke empathy within his sculptures. \nBri Chesler creates immersive installations that fuse glass with unconventional materials to explore desire\, vulnerability\, and intimacy. Her work challenges traditional hierarchies within glass\, using sensory engagement and material tension to draw viewers into psychologically charged environments. \nMinhi England’s work blends multiple glass processes\, drawing from themes of perception\, grief\, and transformation. Her approach emphasizes fluidity and balance\, resulting in forms that feel both delicate\, refined\, and dynamic. Both Minhi and John were featured on Season 3 of Blown Away on Netflix. \nDuring the Refract Open Studio\, visitors will be able to explore multiple studio spaces throughout our home\, as well as our hot shop and fabrication studio. There may be small demonstrations during the walkthrough\, but our primary focus is on opening our space and sharing it with the Refract community.
