“This exhibit celebrates the playful side of glass with functional and whimsical fused glass pieces, from cheerful bowls and bright platters to quirky wind chimes,” according to the gallery’s website.

Chrones crafted the glass pieces in a kiln, fusing the layers together and applying bright colors in the designs.

On a softer note, the show also features knitted accessories.

“The warm fuzzies are tactile, colorful one-of-a-kind hats and purses made from hand-knitted and felted wool into playful, practical, and full-of-personality items,” according to the gallery. 

Join Chrones on Nov. 2 from 1 to 3 p.m. for an artist reception at the gallery. Snacks will be provided, and she’ll be there to answer questions from visitors.

The Cypress Gallery, founded by the Lompoc Valley Art Association, is located at 119 E. Cypress Ave. in Lompoc. It’s open Thursday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Call (805) 737-1129 with questions.
