Example of Kids Create Glass contest

This past summer ECRL ran a Kids Design Art contest. Children ages 4-10 were invited to enter
a special contest to have their drawing turned into a glass sculpture by local
glassblower, Anthony Michaud-Scorza.
Over 150 entries from our 14 branch libraries were turned in. One drawing from each branch was chosen and
will have their drawing turned into a glass sculpture this fall. The following children were chosen as
winners: Aitkin – Savannah Watson; Cambridge
– Emily Ruyman; Chisago Lakes – Sydney Barnick; Hinckley – Madelyn Churchill;
McGregor – Emma Arnold; Milaca – Tucker Anderson; Mille Lacs Lake – Priscilla
Elizabeth Bonilla; Mora – Mattea Van Hale; North Branch – Caleb Thyng; Pine
City – Billy Brown – Princeton – Griffin Sager; Rush City- Hunter Fuller;
Sandstone – Nevaeh Sedillo; and Wyoming – Kirsten Swanson. The winners ranged from ages 5-10.
The winners will get their picture taken with their
individual glass sculpture and be invited to the glassblower’s studio to
observe the art of glassblowing. A
brochure including all of the drawings and the glass designs will also be
produced. The 14 sculptures will also
travel to each of the 14 ECRL branches for a display and Mr. Michaud-Scorza
will give a presentation on glassblowing.
The event is planned for February 2014.
The event is funded with Minnesota’s Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
