UrbanGlassware is pleased to present the work of artists Romina Gonzales and Edison Zapata. This show will coincide with the first Spring season UrbanGlass studio is open to the public after 2 years of major renovations. These two artists are presenting their work and ideas as OFFCENTRE, a new design collective, that takes advantage of situations that can be seen as mistakes and exploits them to create a distinctive visual language.</div>
<div style="color: #232323; font: 11.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<br />
Off-center, in glassblowing vocabulary, refers to a shape displaced from its axis, which is considered a fault that needs immediate solution. By allowing glass to spontaneously wrinkle, drip, collapse, wave and fold, these two artists create functional and decorative pieces that challenge the established conventions of glass and design. Their belief in what they make comes from their own critically informed experience and dialogue within art and design. Gonzales, a graduate from the Studio Art program at New York University, encourages an unconventional deconstructive but playful methodology. Zapata, who graduated with an MFA from Tama Art University, Tokyo in 2007, compliments Gonzales’ style of working by adding a firm understanding of glass making processes.</div>
<div style="color: #232323; font: 11.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
Together, these artists strive to circumvent traditional processes, and approach “making” with naivety and experimental abandon. OFFCENTRE’s approach is raw and instinctive with the overall intention to give the viewer a more subversive, and fresh aesthetic experience.</div>

In honor of the late great <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Slyde">Jimmy Slyde</a>, we decided to make a glass tap shoe cast from one of Jimmy's tap shoes, borrowed from the ATDF collection. This glass tap shoe is now up for auction at the <a href="http://www.atdf.org/gala14.html">ATDF Gala & Silent Auction celebrating Gregory Hines</a>, at 1pm on Sunday, April 13th.</div>

He was surrounded by friends, family and members of the glass community. Kanik has been an amazing friend, teacher and incredibly talented glass artist. It will be difficult to adjust to his not being around. We will need some time to regroup, but Mazel Tov Glass will enter a new chapter. It's been an incredible journey creating, designing and developing our business together and we will continue to grow.<br />

<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">On the doorpost of every Jewish home rests a mezuzah. Some may think it's a dainty decoration or a good luck charm. Put one up to keep the evil spirits away!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Actually, a mezuzah is a daily reminder ― and a public declaration ― of Jewish identity and faith.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">What makes it important is the concept that the doorpost is the dividing line between the swirl of the outside world and the sanctity and safe haven of the home.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; text-align: center;">Hanging a mezuzah on the doorpost is an ancient custom. Archaeologists have discovered mezuzah parchments nearly 2 thousand years old.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The mezuzah is placed on an angle to the right of the door entrance about 5 feet above the floor. Every room may have a mezuzah with the exception the bathroom and closets. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Designing and producing mezuzah cases has been elevated to an art form over the ages.</span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Mazel Tov Glass has designed a mezuzah from the broken wedding shards of the glass stepped on at the ceremony. Every mezuzah we create has a Shin handwritten in glass. Each piece is mounted on sterling silver.<span style="color: #1a1a1a;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Though the mezuzah cases are decorative, the important part of the mezuzah is the <i>klaf</i>, or parchment, and not the case itself. A kosher klaf can me purchased separately through Mazel Tov Glass.</span><br />

The Mazel Tov Glass team is bringing out the fright with this glass witch ball that was hand-blown at the <b><a href="http://www.brooklynglass.com/" target="_blank">Brooklyn Glass Studio</a> </b>in Brooklyn. Hung outdoors, a witch ball was a simple hollow glass sphere made in various colors. It was believed that witches were attracted to its beautiful colors.<br />

Once inside they became confused and unable to escape, lending protection and good energy to the household (like a <b>mezuzah</b>!). Sometimes the balls were filled with either herbs, to ward off evil, or string. In the English version, the visiting spirit would become entangled in the string preventing it from escaping or it would become too involved in pulling out the string thus keeping the household safe!</div>

<a href="http://www.mydreamwedding.ca/wp-content/uploads/image/6015.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://www.mydreamwedding.ca/wp-content/uploads/image/6015.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="p1">
The "stepping on" or "breaking of" the glass is a well-known and long-standing tradition in Jewish weddings, and the wedding tradition around which the concept for <a href="http://www.mazeltovglass.com/site/the-tradition" target="_blank">Mazel Tov Glass</a> is built. But, how did the tradition begin and what is the significance behind it? There are many different answers, and most of them coincide with one another and complement each other.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
One of our most favorite explanations can be found on <a href="http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/542288/jewish/Why-Break-a-Glass-at-a-Wedding.htm"><span class="s1">Chabad.com</span></a> which links the together the remembrance of the destruction of the Holy Temple with the concept that you and your soulmate were connected as one soul before separating into two halves, which found each other and and came back together, never to be apart again. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
What we like best is that the two elements of this explanation both contain the fundamental, and beautiful, concept of unity, and the idea that no matter what you believe in, a wedding is a ceremony of two separate people (and families) coming together to fuse their lives into one.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>

<div class="p1">
What are your favorite explanations of the breaking of the glass?</div>

We're huge fans of the book, and the gorgeous 1920s style that absolutely saturates the film. So it wasn't a surprise to see some Gatsby-themed weddings cropping up…jazz bands, vintage champagne towers, flapper-style hair and dress…we just had to share some of these:<br />

People are sporting all sorts of different gems these days (check out these <a href="http://offbeatbride.com/2013/04/engagement-rings-without-stones"><span class="s1">no-stone ring ideas over at OffBeatBride</span></a>) , but diamonds remain the most popular and traditional stone for the ring. How did that come about? </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Well, according to <a href="http://www.abazias.com/diamondblog/diamond-education/history-of-the-diamond-engagement-ring"><span class="s1">Abazias Diamonds' research</span></a>, the tradition started in 1477, when Archduke Maximillian of Austria proposed to Mary of Burgundy with…you guessed it: a diamond ring. After that, it became a pretty popular thing to do among upper classes around the world.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Once a bunch of diamond mines were discovered in South Africa in the 1870s, supply increased and diamonds become more affordable and therefore even more popular.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">

And even more from one of our favorite sites, <a href="http://mentalfloss.com/">MentalFloss.com</a>, who explain why maybe you <span class="s1"><a href="http://mentalfloss.com/article/26619/why-engagement-rings-are-made-diamonds">"shoulda put a thimble on it" instead.</a></span><br />
