O’ConnorReading & Conversation: Fire Craft – Art, Body, and World Among GlassblowersDecember 5, 2025, 5:30pm - 7:00pm in the UrbanGlass classroom, 647 Fulton St. Third FloorUrbanGlass invites you to an evening with Erin E. O’Connor, celebrated ethnographer of craft and author of the forthcoming book Fire Craft: Art, Body, and World Among Glassblowers (Columbia University Press, August 2025).In Fire Craft, O’Connor offers a powerful blend of personal narrative and sociological insight as she explores the world of glassblowing from within. Through stories of learning, failure, and transformation, she illuminates the embodied knowledge, collaboration, and meaning-making that define this ancient yet vital craft.The evening will feature a reading from the book followed by a roundtable-style Q&A — an open invitation to engage in dialogue about the physical, social, and intellectual dimensions of working with glass.About the Author: Erin E. O’Connor is an Associate Professor of Sociology at Marymount Manhattan College in New York City. A recognized ethnographer of craft, her work focuses on glass, the arts, the body, knowledge, culture, and the environment. She is currently at work on The Middle Mineral & the Mine: An Ethnogeology of Studio Glass — a sweeping exploration of studio glass through the intersecting histories of art worlds, the mining industry, and the deep time of geology. O’Connor is also a recipient of the Rakow Grant for Glass Research at the Corning Museum of Glass. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/brooklyn/reading-and-conversation-with-author-erin-oconnor-on-fire-craft/100001664903233389 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, nonprofit - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Freading-conversation-with-author-erin-oconnor-on-fire-craft-tickets-1664903233389 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Brooklyn - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: UrbanGlass - **lat**: 40.6882503 - **long**: -73.97927930000003 - **full address**: UrbanGlass, 647 Fulton St, Brooklyn, United States ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: UrbanGlass (https://allevents.in/org/urbanglass/22560257) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/e8b9fd7c005df6364576fb46ec2dc51e84191abcfbe49aa645afcc57df4edcc1-rimg-w558-h865-dc2e0302-gmir.jpg?v=1757232775 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/c8750614db8ca3d1b297d11ea8f7612dbda2fc2614022bac4cebf7397e103b88-rimg-w400-h400-dc2e0202-gmir.jpg?v=1757232774 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Fri, 05 Dec, 2025 at 05:30 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** UrbanGlass, 647 Fulton St, Brooklyn, United States - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 0 up to 0 USD - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** UrbanGlass - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** art, literary-art, nonprofit - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Reading & Conversation with Author Erin O'Connor on Fire Craft ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Reading & Conversation with Author Erin O'Connor on Fire Craft", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/e8b9fd7c005df6364576fb46ec2dc51e84191abcfbe49aa645afcc57df4edcc1-rimg-w558-h865-dc2e0302-gmir.jpg?v=1757232775", "startDate": "2025-12-05", "endDate": "2025-12-05", "url": "https://allevents.in/brooklyn/reading-and-conversation-with-author-erin-oconnor-on-fire-craft/100001664903233389", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "UrbanGlass", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "647 Fulton St", "postalCode": "11217", "addressLocality": "Brooklyn", "addressRegion": "NY", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "40.6882503", "longitude": "-73.97927930000003" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "UrbanGlass invites you to an evening with Erin E.

The organization provides access to and an education in glass for professional artists, seniors, students, and members of the public of all backgrounds and familiarity with the material. We offer year-round free and low-cost programming through our 17,000 square foot studios, robust class schedule, fellowship and scholarship opportunities, exhibition center, and in-house printed magazine.Founded in 1977 by a group of dedicated artists, UrbanGlass sought to confront the many barriers limiting creative access to glass such as the high costs of real estate, equipment, and the scarcity of technical expertise. From the organization’s conception it served as it does today: As a creative hub and unparalleled resource center for artists, enabling this material to become available for experimentation beyond the confines of factories and universities in New York City for the first time. Today, glass is seen as an integral component of contemporary art’s complex landscape." } ] } ] ```
