“There are so many ways to do this,”says Ms. Hartman. “I find myself sort of ‘painting’ with crushed glass that is strained through sieves into coarse, medium, fine or powdered glass. Often I will sprinkle powders on a clear glass base, fire that, and then cut trees, birds, flow- ers, etc., out of colored glass, then sprinkle
‘frit’ glass for more detailed parts of the piece.” Ms. Hartman has published five CDs with patterns for stained and fused glass. Oceans and Islands, West by Southwest, Water, Water

MO’ MOVIN’ MOCAF
Museum of Contemporary Art Flagstaff (MOCAF) hosts its second art exhibition, moving it from the downtown home and studio of Jacques Cazaubon Seronde to The Vhay Gallery.
“The first MOCAF opening went so well, it left me with a feeling or a knowing that this town (my home) has such potential and en- ergy for building creative culture,” says col- lective member Mr. Seronde.
“The support it received inspired me to find more visual artists that have the same pas- sion for ‘fine art in small towns.’ Small towns provide the space for true creative ideas to come to light. We have the time, the energy and ability to make this town just as good as the best things I have seen in the larger cities of the world.”
On the change of venue, William Am-
Cyan Cindy by William Ambrose, is among the fresh work at MOCAF’s latest incarnation this First Friday.
brose says, “MOCAF is a moveable feast. Rather than the foundation of the museum being a building or some other structure, its foundation is the art, and our willingness to bring that out.”
At least five artists will be represented at May’s MOCAF event including Erica Vhay, William Ambrose, Mike Frick, Caryn Bopp, Hank Mattson and Mr. Seronde. The event will include music by DJ Heartthrob and refreshments. 6-9PM during First Friday Art- Walk at The Vhay Gallery, 107 N. San Fran- cisco St. Ste. 3.
