Divan Istanbul Hotel
November 2, Saturday, 5-9 p.m. Dinner on Glass combines fine dining, glass blowing, and performance art into a dazzling and unforgettable feast for all the senses. Glass artist Randi Solin’s Brattleboro studio is the setting for diners to watch artists and chefs work together to create an exquisite multi-course meal cooked entirely on hot glass. This one-of-a-kind, genre-defying, culinary experience will be led by glass artist Robert DuGrenier and chef Alex Sorenson of Blank Slate Kitchen. Proceeds benefit BMAC and the Vermont Glass Guild. The process of cooking with molten glass is one that requires great skill. When glass first comes out of the fire, its temperature reaches approximately 2,100 degrees Fahrenheit. The glass quickly reduces in heat, leaving the chef a small window of time to cook the ingredients. Once the glass cools to 1,200 degrees or lower, there is an increased risk of the glass shattering. The result is a thrilling demonstration of artistic ingenuity and technical expertise. Proceeds benefit BMAC and the Vermont Glass Guild.
