An upcoming Humboldt and District Gallery exhibit combines glassmaking with fiction writing.

HUMBOLDT — The arts of glass marking and fiction writing come together at the Humboldt and District Gallery.

Finding the Stories Within runs from Jan. 10 to Feb. 23.

"In this exhibit conceptualized by [glass artist] Elaina Adams and [writer] Becky Zimmer, the art of glass making and the art of fiction writing come together," a release from the gallery said.

The style of glass making in this exhibit creates layers, textures, and shapes that is meant to evoke images and stories in the viewer’s mind. A group of local writers gathered by Becky Zimmer visited Elaina Adams at her studio to be inspired by these glass sheets, the release said. They each created a short piece of fiction based on what they could see in the glass. The exhibit brings the Contemplative Art Glass sheets together with the words they were inspired by.

The exhibit features written works from:

  • Ivan Buehler,
  • Becky Zimmer,
  • Janice L. Dick,
  • Lorraine Holtvogt,
  • Carol Gossner,
  • Hazel Milne Kellner,
  • Dee Robertson,
  • Loretta Polischuk and
  • Audrey Freistadt.
